Markets Shaken by Geopolitical Tensions on Friday the 13th

Markets tumbled on Friday the 13th as escalating tensions between Israel and Iran triggered a sharp rise in oil prices (+7.26%), a flight to gold, and broad equity sell-offs. The Dow fell 1.8%, breaching its 200-day moving average, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.13% and the Nasdaq slid 1.3%, closing at session lows. Small caps were hit hardest, with Russell 2000 down 1.83%. Energy stocks surged on supply fears, while Financials sank amid concerns over stablecoin competition. Despite the volatility, the S&P and Nasdaq remained above key short-term support levels. With the FOMC meeting and Juneteenth holiday approaching, investors face a critical, shortened week ahead.
