Yesterday: U.S. indexes tumbled Monday, as escalating tensions in the Middle East rattled investor sentiment, driving energy prices sharply higher. Reports of direct military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran, along with Iranian missile strikes targeting the U.A.E., heightened concerns that any peace deal is still a long ways away, further dragging out the oil disruption in the Strait of Hormuz — where 20% of the global oil transits. The spike in oil prices weighed on fixed income markets, with Treasury yields rising sharply, pushing the two-year note to 3.95%, as investors dialed back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year and began factoring in the possibility of a rate hike in 2027.

On Our Radar: Analysts will be paying attention to job openings and new home sales data for signals on labor demand and housing activity, alongside speeches from Fed officials Michelle Bowman and Michael Barr. On the earnings front, all eyes will be on AMD (AMD), and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) which will report after the market close today.

MARKET HEATMAP

Iranian drone strike on the UAE sent oil surging, increasing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike by March 2027, sending markets tumbling. Still, there were a few bright spots with Tyson Foods (TSN), Coinbase (COIN) and eBay (EBAY) among the notable gainers. Meanwhile, AMD (AMD), Gamestop (GME), UPS (UPS) and FedEx (FDX) were among the top laggards of the day. But those weren’t the only companies making big moves. Here’s a look at the top winners and losers from Monday.
