The market may finally be waking up to the damaging reality of the Iran war.
The stock market having its worst day of the conflict a month into the fighting is a bad sign. The S&P 500 fell 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.4% Thursday—both closing at around six-month lows. The latter entered correction territory, albeit partly due to Meta’s sharp drop.

But what’s more worrying is the muted reaction to President Donald Trump postponing strikes on Iranian energy facilities for another 10 days. It may be down to reports that the Pentagon is looking at sending up to 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East.
But the delay also doesn’t give investors what they really want—an end to the war, or at least a sign it may come swiftly.
If the pause holds and there’s no resolution, it means 10 more days of low traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, elevated energy prices, and more uncertainty. Deadlines also spark volatility—yesterday’s trading ahead of Trump’s original Friday cut-off is a stark reminder.
The war looks likely to drag on into April—at the very least—and into earnings season. If U.S. companies are revealing the damaging impact of the war as the conflict is raging, that’s a troubling combination for the stock market, though it may put more pressure on Trump.
The same goes for the economic fallout. The jobs report for March is out before Trump’s new deadline expires, and consumer price inflation data a few days after.
That might seem a bit far out for a market eager to trade on day-to-day developments. But it shouldn’t be. The longer the war lasts, the worse the impact for the global economy and markets.
Every passing day means more trouble ahead—let alone 10 of them.

金は週の初めに中東の危機に関する見出しに市場が反応する中、激しい変動を経験しました。この貴金属は月曜日の早朝に大きな売り圧力を受け、石油価格が急騰し、世界的なインフレへの懸念を助長しました。これは、米国のドナルド・トランプ大統領が週末に48時間以内にホルムズ海峡を開かなければイランの発電所を「消滅させる」と脅迫したことを受けたものです。それに対し、イランは報復を警告し、中東におけるすべての米国関連のエネルギーインフラを標的にすると発表しました。

Asian currencies stayed mostly quiet on Thursday, while the U.S. dollar remained steady. Investors are watching mixed signals about possible peace efforts in the Middle East, which is keeping markets cautious.
The U.S. Dollar Index stayed flat after rising in the last two sessions, supported by safe-haven demand.
Iran said it is reviewing a U.S. proposal to end the war, but the situation is still unclear. It has not accepted the plan, but also hasn’t rejected it. At the same time, Iran denied direct talks with the U.S. This uncertainty is making traders careful.
Analysts say that unless tensions ease and oil supply improves, oil prices may stay high. This could keep the dollar strong, while Asian currencies, especially those that depend on oil imports, may remain under pressure.
In currency markets, most Asian currencies moved in small ranges.
* Japanese yen stayed flat
* South Korean won rose slightly
* Indian rupee weakened near its record low
* Chinese yuan was stable
* Singapore dollar and Australian dollar saw small gains

Overall, markets are also focused on U.S. interest rates. Expectations of higher rates for longer are supporting the dollar and limiting gains in Asian currencies.
