Three major U.S. indexes declined on Wednesday, March 18, after oil rose in price due to Iran's new threats to the oil infrastructure of neighboring countries. The cost of Brent jumped 6% in trading and approached $110. The U.S. Federal Reserve kept its key rate at the current level and said that "the implications of events in the Middle East for the economy remain uncertain" and the sustainability of inflation could prevent rate cuts.

All four major U.S. stock indexes rose for the second day in a row, with the Russell 2000 index of small and mid-capitalization companies rising the most. Stocks continued to rise in price, despite the fact that oil also increased in price. In the past days of the U.S. war with Iran, the stock market perceived it negatively and sold off stocks. Now investors are waiting for the Fed's rate decision and its comments on the situation.
