Not even three days into The Fascist Felon/Possible Pedophie”s ‘and his partner in evil deeds, Bibi Netanyahu’s, air strikes on Iran, the US and other parts of the world’s markets have begun to feel the negative effects.
On Monday, US stocks fell causing growing concerns for equity investors. The S&P 500 lost 0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 149 points, or 0.3%.

Higher gas prices are likely coming to the pump after oil prices jump in wake of U.S. strikes in Iran
The jump in oil prices could lead to a jump in prices as soon as Monday, but it won’t be a spike, an analyst said.
U.S. crude oil soared more than 6.5%, while Brent, the international oil benchmark, surged 8% on Monday morning. For U.S. crude oil, the move pushed prices higher by nearly $5 per barrel.
Even before the weekend’s escalation, oil prices had risen 17% this year off President Donald Trump’s ramped-up rhetoric against the Iranian regime. The Trump administration has also ratcheted up sanctions on Iran in recent months.
Retail gas prices move about 2.5 cents for every $1 move in the price of crude oil, so already a nearly 13 cent-per-gallon increase could be on the horizon for consumers. Price hikes at the gas pump could start as soon as Monday, GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said.
