US markets fell amid geopolitical tensions: The S&P 500 dropped 0.6% (third weekly loss), the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.9% as the escalating conflict pushed oil higher and increased inflation fears.
Oil surge driving market volatility: Brent Crude has jumped about 40% since late February and stayed above $100 as fighting near Kharg Island and the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz threaten global oil supply.
Europe defensive, cyclicals hit: The STOXX Europe 600 fell 0.5%; defensive sectors (food, telecoms, utilities) gained while commodities, luxury goods, travel, autos, and banks declined due to growth and fuel-cost concerns.
