- S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all closed lower, with rising oil prices and climbing Treasury yields cited as the drivers adding to investor jitters
- Oil prices rose on Middle East tension and held gains into the Asian session, where stocks were set for a muted open while US futures pointed mostly lower
Why it matters: A simultaneous decline across all three major US indices, driven by both higher energy costs and rising yields, signals tightening financial conditions that pressure equity valuations and raise borrowing costs — with geopolitical risk in the Middle East now compounding the macro headwind.
