After Israel attacked Iranian targets, the violence increased, causing oil prices to rise and stock prices to fall on Friday. This happened because people were worried about the global oil supply and economy. Major stock indexes like the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq all dropped significantly. Meanwhile, the price of U.S. crude oil increased by 7.3% to $72.98 per barrel. Experts often say that oil prices usually go down once it's clear the situation won't get worse, but financial markets are still watching closely. Companies that rely on fuel and consumer confidence in travel, such as Carnival and United Airlines, experienced significant losses. However, U.S. oil companies, defense contractors, and gold saw their values increase. Despite these changes, inflation remains quite stable, though some people are concerned it could increase due to President Trump's tariffs.
