Show Notes
U.S. stocks closed lower on Friday, marking a challenging week due to volatile oil prices linked to the Iran conflict. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones all experienced daily declines and weekly losses. Oil prices surged despite temporary sanction relief, with WTI and Brent crude reaching multi-month highs. Investors pulled back as the conflict expanded, tightening controls on the Strait of Hormuz and causing the largest supply shock ever recorded by the IEA. Weak economic data, including revised GDP growth and softening durable goods demand, added to market pressure. Despite softer data, the Fed is expected to maintain interest rates, as spiking energy costs could prolong high inflation. Company-specific news, such as Adobes CEO exit and Metas AI model delay, also contributed to market uncertainty.
