Iran War: Stocks Extend Slide With Oil at $100, Dollar Gains | The Opening Trade 3/13/2026

US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with further attacks after the Islamic Republic’s new leader signaled defiance and suggested there would be no easing of a war that’s upending energy flows and global markets.

Europe’s Stoxx 600 index slumped putting the benchmark on course for a second week of losses. US futures retreated after the S&P 500 Index slid to its lowest since November. Brent crude edged higher after rallying over 9% on Thursday.
