The stock market began the month with losses across all major indexes due to increasing tensions in the Middle East, particularly after Iran fired missiles at Israel. This led to a spike in crude oil prices and raised concerns among traders, resulting in a decrease in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite. Moreover, the rise in the CBOE Volatility Index also indicated growing fear and uncertainty among investors.
