★Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slide amid inflation worries as Iran war sends oil surging
"Today's market slide, fueled by rising oil prices and inflation fears, signals growing economic uncertainty. Higher energy costs directly impact consumer spending and corporate profits, potentially slowing growth and squeezing investment returns across the board. Investors should prepare for continued volatility as geopolitical tensions escalate."

Geopolitical tensions, particularly around Iran, always seem to find a way to hit us right in the energy bill. It's a reminder that global events often dictate our portfolios more than we'd like.
