Show Notes
Stock markets plummeted this week as Middle East tensions escalated, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all posting significant losses. Higher oil prices fueled inflation fears, pushing bond yields up and making rate cuts less likely. The U.S. is sending a large military force to the region, and Irans new leader praised the countrys unity and resistance. Traders now expect the conflict to last for months, keeping energy costs elevated and pressuring the broader economy. The energy sector was the only one to rise, with smaller stocks in the Russell 2000 sliding the most. Super Micro Computer plunged 30% on charges of smuggling AI tech to China, while FedEx shares jumped on strong demand forecasts. Investors brace for more market volatility as geopolitical risks and inflation remain in focus.
