How Iran's Attack Against Israel Will Impact Gas Prices You Pay At The Pump
Portfolio Pulse from Aaron Bry
The SPDR S&P 500 Index (NYSE:SPY) fell over 1% due to fears of an Iran attack on Israel, impacting oil prices and major energy companies like Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY). Despite a defense against the attack, concerns persist that the Israel-Hamas conflict could sustain high oil prices, potentially leading to a recession. Oil prices dropped to $85 a barrel from a spike, with energy stocks also declining. Analysts warn of economic impact if oil prices remain high or if gas prices exceed $5 a gallon.
