Stock market today: Live updates
U.S. stocks fell Friday, extending weekly losses, as traders monitored developments in the U.S.-Iran war. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 316 points. Oil prices rose over 2%, with Brent crude surpassing $110 per barrel. The market decline follows President Trump extending a deadline to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure to April 6, signaling ongoing talks. However, uncertainty persists, with Iran’s foreign minister stating no intention to negotiate and reports of potential additional U.S. troops being sent to the region.
