Wall Street buckled as reports of Iran’s retaliation for Israel’s attack on its nuclear facilities
deepened concerns that the conflict is escalating, with oil jumping and stocks taking a hit.
The S&P 500 lost over 1%, wiping out this week’s advance. Airline and travel companies tumbled,
while energy producers and defense shares rose. West Texas Intermediate crude futures surged
more than 7%, the most since March 2022. Gold hovered near its all-time high. Treasuries fell as a

on making big bets in either direction. Chinese stocks swung between gains and losses. European
equity futures edged lower. The dollar was little changed, while gold held near a record high.
