tldr; US stock markets tumbled as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq fell sharply due to rising oil prices, nearing $100 per barrel, and escalating Middle East tensions. Treasury yields approaching 5% added pressure on growth stocks, while inflation concerns impacted consumer spending. Meanwhile, the crypto market rebounded, with Bitcoin trading around $70,400. Energy market disruptions, including Iran’s actions in the Middle East, further fueled market volatility, raising fears of prolonged geopolitical conflicts and their economic impact.
