U.S. Markets Closing Updates | Dow slides more than 450 points, pressured by rising oil prices & doubts over Iran negotiations
🇺🇸 The S&P 500 fell on Thursday, weighed by higher oil prices, as traders followed the latest developments out of the Middle East.
🇺🇸 The broad market index declined 1.74% to end at 6,477.16, while Nasdaq Composite shed 2.38% & closed at 21,408.08. The tech-heavy index closed in correction territory, down more than 10% from its high.
🇺🇸 The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 469.38 points, or 1.01%, and settled at 45,960.11.
🇺🇸 Crude prices rose on Thursday, putting pressure on equities. Brent futures jumped 5.66% to settle at $108.01 per barrel. West Texas Intermediate futures climbed 4.61% to end at $94.48.

🇺🇸 As stocks took a leg lower & oil prices received a boost Thursday, the yields on the 10-year Treasury & 2-year Treasury both spiked.
🇺🇸 Speaking about the recent performance in oil prices, President Donald Trump said he thinks their surge as well as the pressure seen in the broader market are not as bad as he expected. “It’s all going to come back down to where it was & probably lower,” he said regarding oil.
🇺🇸 Earlier Thursday, Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran “better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK & it won’t be pretty.” The President also labeled Iranian negotiators as “very different” & “strange,” claiming they were “begging” the U.S. to make a deal to end the now four-week war.
🇺🇸 This comes after Iran’s Foreign Minister reportedly told state media on Wednesday that top authorities in the Middle Eastern nation are reviewing an American proposal to end the war, but Tehran has no intention of having talks with the U.S.
🇺🇸 Meanwhile, Gulf countries issued a joint statement Thursday condemning Iran’s “criminal” strikes from Iraqi territory on their energy infrastructure. They added that they are ready to defend themselves going forward.
🇺🇸 Wall Street is coming off a winning session, with the Dow on track for a winning week, even in the face of the contradictory statements made by the U.S. & Iran regarding peace talks between the two sides.

🇺🇸 Tobin Marcus, head of U.S. policy and politics at Wolfe Research, believes the recent market moves signal that investors are betting Iran is the one that could be “lying.”
🇺🇸 Markets “seem to be concluding that Iran’s negative public message may be a smokescreen for a more accommodating private posture,” he wrote in a note. “We’re not so sure & the ambiguity can’t last much longer amid Trump’s 5-day deadline for talks.”
