Oil prices fell more than 4% on Monday after President Donald Trump said he called off a planned military strike on Iran. The move unwound the geopolitical risk premium traders had built into crude prices, with broader market direction now shifting back to supply and demand fundamentals.
Brent crude jumped above $78 a barrel and WTI above $73 after Iran expanded military strikes into the Gulf, sharply slowing shipping traffic through a key oil transit route.
U.S. stock futures for the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow fell Friday after President Trump declared the Middle East ceasefire "over," sending oil prices sharply higher. The combination of rising energy costs and heightened geopolitical risk pushed investors into risk-off mode ahead of the market open.
Indian benchmark indices posted their worst session in over three months after Donald Trump declared the Iran ceasefire over, sending crude oil prices sharply higher and the rupee lower. The selloff hit all sectors as India VIX surged, reflecting India's heavy dependence on Gulf oil imports.
Global stocks bounced back and oil prices pulled back after Iran and Israel both signaled a pause in their military exchange, easing fears of a wider regional conflict. The moves reversed much of the week's flight-to-safety trade, though markets remain cautious about whether the pause will hold.
The Nifty 50 has dropped over 7% since the Iran-US-Israel conflict escalated in late February, with some mid- and large-cap Indian stocks losing up to 50% in 100 days. Oil price risk, capital outflows from emerging markets, and sector-specific margin pressure are driving the steepest declines.
Global stocks bounced and oil prices pulled back after Iran and Israel both signaled a pause in hostilities, reducing fears of a wider regional conflict. Markets remain sensitive to any reversal, with oil especially exposed to disruption risk near the Strait of Hormuz.
Gold held steady as a partial Hezbollah-Israel ceasefire offset uncertainty from ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. Investors are awaiting U.S. jobs data and Federal Reserve commentary for clearer direction on rates and inflation.
The US dollar is heading for a weekly decline after reports of a potential US-Iran ceasefire deal reduced demand for safe-haven assets. A confirmed agreement could extend dollar weakness and lift emerging market currencies and commodity prices.
Oil prices slipped while stocks edged higher as traders awaited President Trump's decision on a potential US-Iran nuclear deal. A completed agreement could return Iranian crude to global markets, pressuring oil prices even as reduced geopolitical risk supports equities.
Global markets are under pressure as the US-Iran conflict continues with no resolution in sight. Oil supply risk through the Strait of Hormuz, safe-haven demand, and inflation concerns are the main channels hitting equities, currencies, and emerging economies.
Goldman Sachs says the conflict involving Iran has stressed but not broken the global economy, using the phrase "bending, not breaking" to reassure investors. The full analysis underpinning that view was not available in the source material.
Brent crude jumped $3.18 to $104.47 a barrel after US-Iran peace talks collapsed, adding to Friday's gains for a roughly 4% two-day rally. The breakdown removes the prospect of fresh Iranian supply and adds a geopolitical risk premium to oil markets.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says the war with Iran is "not over" as the conflict enters its second month with no peace deal in sight. The prolonged fighting has already driven up oil and gas prices in the U.S. and globally, squeezing consumers and adding geopolitical risk to markets.
US oil prices jumped as tensions between the US and Iran intensified, stoking fears of supply disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz. Sustained price gains could push up fuel costs and complicate inflation management for central banks.
Asia-Pacific equity markets fell at Friday's open as renewed Iran-U.S. clashes strained an already fragile ceasefire. Investors are pulling back on fears of energy supply disruption and broader geopolitical instability across the region.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the US of choosing military escalation over diplomacy, saying Washington launches a "reckless military adventure" whenever a negotiated solution is available.
Citi has downgraded Indian equities to Underweight, setting a Nifty target of 27,000 and flagging weak FY27-28 earnings alongside Iran War-related geopolitical risks. The brokerage still favors banks, telecom, defence, and pharma within India.
The BSE Sensex fell 516 points to close at 77,328.19 on Tuesday, its second consecutive losing session, as renewed West Asia tensions dampened investor sentiment. Rising geopolitical risk threatens higher oil prices, which would widen India's import bill and pressure the rupee.
Oil prices surged and global stocks dropped after U.S. and Iranian forces clashed, threatening peace talks that markets had been counting on to end a ten-week conflict. The earlier rally, built on hopes of a quick resolution, reversed sharply as traders priced in the risk of a prolonged standoff.
