Show Notes
Global markets plummeted as US-Iran tensions escalated, causing oil prices to surge past $100 a barrel. Wall Street futures pointed lower, with S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq futures all dropping. Diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire failed, with both sides rejecting each others proposals. Iran enforced control over the Strait of Hormuz, charging fees for safe passage, and the US prepared to deploy more troops. Stock slides rippled worldwide, with Europe and Asia closing mostly red. Traders anticipate more market volatility due to high oil prices and locked positions.
