The sell-off in U.S. stock markets continued on March 9 after the biggest weekly drop since last October - the prospect of a protracted war in Iran has sent energy prices soaring and heightened fears of rising inflation.

The beginning of the working week was extremely nervous for investors. Monday began with a sharp rise in oil prices - the cost of Brent soared by 29% and for the first time since 2022 approached $120 on the background of production cuts in the Middle East. This caused panic on Asian stock exchanges - stocks in Japan fell by more than 5%, in South Korea - by almost 6%. In Europe, the mood was also negative - the STOXX Europe 600 composite index lost 0.6% at the end of the day. Trading in the US was in the red zone for most of the day, but an hour before the close Donald Trump said that "the war is almost over". This caused investors' euphoria - stocks soared, while oil went into negative territory. Oninvest followed what was happening in the market all day long. This is the end of our online coverage.

Stocks in Asia collapse after explosive rise in oil prices

Brent hasn't been worth that much for two years

U.S. stocks have fallen sharply due to oil above $90, bad data and Trump's ultimatum

The price of Brent crude soared by 10%, exceeding $94 per barrel for the first time since 2023. The sharp rise in prices was triggered by news that Kuwait began cutting production due to a shortage of oil storage facilities, and Qatar warned that a prolonged war could "collapse the world economy". The White House said the war could last another four to six weeks, and US President Donald Trump ruled out talks with Iran and demanded its "unconditional surrender". Analysts believe that without de-escalation of the conflict, the cost of oil could exceed $100 in the coming days. At the same time, the US market was pressurized by the employment report, which contrary to expectations showed a reduction in the number of jobs and an increase in unemployment. What was happening in the market was followed in this online.
