- US equities fell across the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq as a Middle East stalemate and resurfacing US-Iran tensions boosted oil and revived AI-safety concerns, per overlapping coverage from Reuters, Yahoo Finance, and Bloomberg.
- Oil prices resumed their advance after a rejected Iran truce, with Bloomberg and Reuters both flagging the simultaneous slide in stocks and bonds as markets repriced the geopolitical risk.
