Stocks were on a runaway train. Then Iran happened

New York The American drone strike targeting a top Iranian commander sent shockwaves across previously calm Wall Street.

The dramatic escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran forced once-euphoric investors to confront the risk of a tit-for-tat spiral that derails the economy by depressing consumer spending. Oil prices climbed 4% to three-month highs following the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force. Treasury yields tumbled as investors rushed to safety. The VIX volatility index rose sharply.
