Stock Market Today Live Updates: Stock markets fell on Friday following a major overnight decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as investors reacted to growing concerns over the ongoing conflict involving Iran. The widening war across the Gulf region has raised fears of disruptions to global oil supplies, pushing crude prices sharply higher. Brent Crude climbed above $85 a barrel while West Texas Intermediate crude surged past $80, its highest level in over a year. The sell-off saw the Dow Jones drop 1.6% (785 points), while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also declined. The negative sentiment spilled over into Asian markets, including India, where benchmark indices opened sharply lower after briefly recovering from a previous crash., Business News, Times Now
