Stock futures were plunging to start the week’s trading as U.S. oil prices topped $100 a barrel amid the U.S.-Iran conflict, raising fears higher energy prices could dramatically slow the U.S. economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
is coming off its biggest weekly slide in nearly a year.
Futures
tied to the Dow fell 848 points, or 1.79%. S&P 500 futures
lost 1.7% and Nasdaq 100 futures
dropped 1.9%.
West Texas Intermediate
crude jumped 18% to above $107 a barrel, its first time above the $100 level since July 2022, when investors were reacting to the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. International benchmark Brent
crude added 16% to above $108 a barrel. U.S. oil prices began the year below $60 a barrel.
Oil futures jumped on Sunday night after major Middle East producers slashed their output due to the continued closure of the key Strait of Hormuz passageway. Kuwait announced cuts but did not say by how much, while Iraq has reportedly seen its production fall 70%.

South Korea’s Kospi
triggered its second circuit breaker in four sessions on Monday, leading a broader regional sell-off as oil prices breached $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022.
The index plunged over 8%, triggering a 20 minute suspension in trading from 10.31 a.m. local time. Heavyweight Samsung Electronics plunged more than 10%, while chip counterpart SK Hynix shed 11.6%.
A circuit breaker was activated last week when the benchmark tumbled more than 12% Wednesday to record its worst single-day decline.
