Oil Price Surge Triggers Fourth Consecutive US Stock Market Decline
The US stock market saw its fourth consecutive decline on September 10, 2026, as soaring crude oil prices and rising Treasury yields fueled persistent inflation concerns.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite each fell by roughly 0.6% following sharp spikes in energy commodities.
Brent crude futures pulled back slightly to $103.88 a barrel on Friday, while West Texas Intermediate dropped to $99.15, after both benchmarks soared past 6% in the previous session and reached multi-month highs.
