US Markets Fall Sharply Amid Iran Conflict Fears
US stock markets tumbled as rising tensions linked to Iran sparked global investor anxiety. The Dow Jones dropped over 1,100 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also moved sharply lower as traders rushed to reduce risk.
At the same time, safe-haven assets surged. Oil, gas, gold, and silver prices climbed on fears that conflict in the Middle East could disrupt global energy supplies. Meanwhile, Bitcoin slipped toward $67,000, reflecting weaker risk sentiment across financial markets.
Analysts say geopolitical uncertainty is driving volatility, with investors closely watching developments that could impact inflation, energy prices, and the broader global economy.
