The S&P 500 fell 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 327 points, or 0.6%. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.5%. The sell-off was broad-based, with retailers among the biggest losers. Amazon fell 1.8% and Starbucks declined 1.4%. Most S&P 500 sectors ended lower, while energy stocks gained, with Exxon Mobil rising 2.6% and Chevron adding 2%. Oil prices were at the centre of the market action after the US destroyed five Iranian tankers on Tuesday, further escalating the conflict. The war has largely halted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route that handled about a fifth of global oil supplies before the conflict. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the Iran war was likely to keep oil prices elevated at least through the US midterm elections in November. The surge in crude has added to already elevated inflation. US gasoline prices have risen about 32% from a year ago to $4.22 a gallon, while diesel prices have also reached record levels. Higher fuel costs can directly squeeze household budgets and indirectly push up the prices of goods by increasing transportation and production costs. Investors are now awaiting fresh US inflation data, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) due Thursday and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) scheduled for Friday.
