  Losses accelerated in afternoon trading amid reports Iran retaliated against Israel.

On April 15, 2024, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 769 points, marking a significant downturn amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. The conflict heightened fears of a broader Middle East war, causing investors to seek safer assets, which led to a surge in gold prices and a drop in Treasury yields. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also experienced declines, with the S&P 500 falling 1.5% and the Nasdaq dropping 1.6%.

The market's reaction underscored the geopolitical risks influencing global financial markets.
