Mar 9 | Dow Swings 945 Points as Trump Signals Iran De-Escalation

Markets staged a dramatic reversal today as the Dow Jones swung 945 points intraday — plunging nearly 1,000 points at the open before closing up 240 points after President Trump signaled the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict could be ending soon. Oil crashed 6.4% to $85 per barrel on de-escalation hopes, while semiconductors ripped 3.98% higher to lead sector gains. The S&P 500 climbed 0.81% to 6,794, and the NASDAQ added 1.38% to 22,700 as risk-on rotation took hold. Silver surged 3.6% to $87.34 while gold pulled back 1.07% to $5,104. Bitcoin rebounded 1.38% toward $69,000. The VIX Fear Index sits at 25.48, well off the 35 spike seen at peak geopolitical stress. Warning signs are flashing in crowded trades — gasoline futures show 85% of traders on the long side, a high-risk setup if oil continues to retreat. *In This Episode:* 0:00 Intro 5:12 Week in Review 9:22 Commodities 13:54 Currencies 16:46 Treasury and Rates 20:17 Economy and the Fed 37:31 Top Stock Picks 46:46 Top ETF Picks 53:02 Congressional Trading 55:22 Insider Activity 59:19 Federal Budget 1:06:46 Week Ahead *Links:* 🌐 https://www.stockbeaver.com 🐦 https://x.com/stock_beaver Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
