AI Overview
What happened: The S&P 500 retreated on June 3-10, 2021, due to escalating Middle East tensions. On June 3, the S&P 500 closed down -1.62%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) down -1.87%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index (QQQ) down -1.98%. This was driven by surging oil prices, higher yields, and geopolitical tensions. On June 10, the S&P 500 fell 1.00% to 7,312.58, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.27% to 25,352.11, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.22% to 50,239.76, as hotter inflation and Iran tensions fueled a broad sell-off.
Market impact: Energy stocks like ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) initially benefited from rising oil prices, while tech stocks like Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) suffered due to higher yields and geopolitical uncertainty. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), a measure of market anxiety, surged 26.5% on June 10.
What to watch next: On June 14, the consumer price index (CPI) inflation data will be released, which could further impact markets. Additionally, investors will closely monitor any developments in U.S.-Iran relations, with a potential breakthrough in nuclear talks on June 18.
