Stocks sink as oil prices sizzle and U.S. hiring fizzles

Stocks fell on Friday, closing out a week of turbulence on Wall Street marked by signs that the U.S. labor market is weakening and mounting concerns about the economic impact of the war in Iran. The S&P 500 sank 91 points, or 1.3%, to close at 6,740, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 489 points, or 1%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite lost 1.1%. The declines followed a steep drop on Thursday, with the Dow losing 785 points, or 1.6%, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling 0.6% and 0.3%, respectively. The downturn Friday came after the release of the February employment report, which showed employers shed 92,000 jobs in February, undershooting economists' forecasts of 60,000 payroll gains.

US stocks nosedive as Trump harangues Powell

Wall Street stocks skidded on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on attacks against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, amplifying concerns about the central bank’s autonomy and rattling markets. Trump repeated his criticism of Powell, saying in a Truth Social post that the economy could slow down unless interest rates are lowered immediately. That followed comments by White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett on Friday that Trump and his team would study if firing Powell was an option. Trump’s continued criticism of the Fed chair has heightened worries about the central bank’s ability to independently formulate monetary policy in the world’s largest economy, undermining investor confidence in U.S. assets already diminished by Trump’s tariffs.

US stocks rebound after strong economic updates and as oil prices stop spiking

U.S. stock markets rebounded after two days of volatility spurred by the ongoing war with Iran and surging oil prices. The S&P 500 climbed 0.8%, recovering most recent losses, while the Dow Jones increased by 238 points (0.5%) and the Nasdaq rose 1.3%. Market stabilization was aided by a halt in oil price spikes—Brent crude settling at $81.40 after briefly exceeding $84—and encouraging U.S. economic data. Reports signaled strong growth in the service sector and improved hiring by private employers, supporting optimism for Friday's upcoming job market report.
