[US Stock Market] Iran claims nuclear facilities were bombed by the US and Israel, Dow drops 500 points, oil rises 2%, gold jumps 3%, US bond yields hit 4.46% (( ongoing updates)
U.S. President Trump said he would extend the bombing of Iranian power plants by another 10 days, but this did not ease market concerns. Instead, worries that the conflict could drag on and impact oil supplies have intensified the global economic shock, with attention turning to whether global central banks could fall into an interest-rate-hiking cycle. The yield on U.S. 10-year Treasuries was 4.46% (or 4.46 basis points per year), the highest level in more than 8 months. The yield on 20-year Treasuries rose even further, crossing above 5%, the first time since last July.
Iran said nuclear facilities were hit in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, including a nuclear facility with a heavy-water reactor, as well as a production plant that processes uranium material—“yellowcake.” Preliminary investigations show the incident caused no leakage of any radioactive materials to outside the complex.
Also, according to reports from Iranian media, Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran’s Khondab nuclear facility, where a heavy-water research reactor inside the facility was hit by an airstrike.
Mehr News Agency reported that on Friday (27th), the U.S. and Israel bombed Iran’s Khuzestan Steel Plant and Isfahan Mubarak Steel Plant, and the power plant supporting Mubarak Steel Plant was also targeted.
U.S. stocks’ midday losses widened. As of 1:00 p.m. Hong Kong time, the Dow Jones was at 45,459 points, down 500 points; the S&P 500 was at 6,407 points, down 1.1%; and the Nasdaq was at 21,080 points, down 1.5%.
Oil prices continued rising. New York-traded crude oil rose 3.6% to $97.91; Brent May futures rose 2.4% to $110.57; and June futures rose 2.1% to $104.02.
Gold prices rose more than 3%. New York-traded gold futures were at $4,543, up 3%; spot gold was at $4,512, up 3%.
Funds continued flowing into the U.S. dollar as a safe-haven. The U.S. Dollar Index broke through the 100 level. LGT Royal Bank (Asia) pointed out that tactically, it is maintaining a neutral stance on the dollar. On the one hand, given that the U.S. is the world’s largest net energy exporter, it benefits from more favorable trade terms under the current energy crisis. On the other hand, it also reflects the dollar’s defensive asset status during market volatility. Given the current inflation situation, we believe the Fed’s room to cut rates is more limited than in the past. In the bank’s baseline scenario, we expect at most one rate cut in 2026, lower than the previously expected 1 to 2 cuts.
The bank expects that within 6 to 12 months, assuming energy transport through the Strait of Hormuz gradually returns to normal, the market will gradually revert to the trend of diversifying allocations away from the dollar. This will exert mild downward pressure on the dollar, causing it to weaken versus some major currencies. The outlook reflects that the market remains uncertain about U.S. policy and fiscal sustainability, while other economies such as Australia and China have relatively improved prospects. However, upside risks for the dollar still exist, and the longer energy supply disruptions last, the more obvious the risk becomes.

Thursday: Trump extends bombing of Iranian power plants by 10 days—oil prices are a roller coaster
U.S. President Trump wrote on the social platform Truth Social, saying, “At the request of the Iranian government, please have this statement represent that the destruction window of the power plant is paused for 10 days, until Monday, April 6, 2026, 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Talks are ongoing. Despite false-news media and others spreading contrary false reports, the talks are going very smoothly.”
Brent crude futures at one point wiped out a 7% gain; however, since the message still implies the Strait of Hormuz faces another 10-day blockade, oil prices surged again by 5% to $107.
