US Stocks Surge as Oil Prices Drop and Markets React to White House Tensions ๐Ÿ“ˆ

US Stocks Today Surge Despite White House Drama โ€“ Oil Prices Drop!

February 28 US stocks saw significant movement ๐Ÿ“Š, with Wall Street closing higher despite early volatility triggered by a tense White House meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.


๐Ÿ“‰ Oil Prices Fall Amid Global Market Jitters

Oil prices fell as concerns grew over geopolitical uncertainty. The White House confrontation, new tariffs, and Iraqโ€™s resumption of oil exports from Kurdistan played key roles.


๐Ÿ“Š Wall Street Rebounds After Initial Drop

Despite early market fears, U.S. stock indices rebounded strongly:

  • S&P 500: +1.59% (5,954.50 points)
  • Nasdaq: +1.63% (18,847.28 points)
  • Dow Jones: +1.39% (43,840.91 points)

„The market initially panicked, but cooler heads prevailed,” said Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments.


๐Ÿ’ต Crypto Market Reacts to Trumpโ€™s Policies

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies dropped as investors reacted to political uncertainty. Bitcoin fell 0.18% to $84,138.56.


๐ŸŒ Global Market Impact

European shares ended flat but logged another weekly gain. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields hit multi-month lows after inflation data showed a slight cooling:

  • Core PCE inflation: Dropped to 2.6% from 2.9% ๐Ÿ“‰
  • U.S. 10-year Treasury yield: Fell 6 basis points to 4.227%
  • Gold prices: Dropped 0.68% to $2,856.49 per ounce

โš ๏ธ Tariff Concerns Shake the Markets

Tariff concerns loomed as President Trump announced:

  • 25% tariffs on imports from Canada & Mexico (effective March 4)
  • 10% additional duties on Chinese goods
  • Potential 25% tariffs on EU imports

Investors remain cautious. Increased tariffs could fuel inflation and slow economic growth.
