The story so far

Oil prices have increased, including a 3% jump, as the U.S. and Iran trade strikes in the Middle East. This escalation centered around the Strait of Hormuz has simultaneously pushed stock indices lower, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq set to open down.

Coverage from Reuters, Al Jazeera, and The Guardian emphasizes the direct nature of the attacks and the resulting impact on energy costs. CNA and Barron's further highlight that tech stocks are continuing to weigh on the markets alongside fears stemming from the U.S.-Iran conflict.
