DJI, RUT, SPX, NDX Closed Lower...Breadth Weakened...VIX Rose...Middle East Lacked Clarity...

 

© 2026

SPX -114.75, 6,477 made at its lowest close in six months.   Breadth weakened and was negative as decliners led on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges.  A lack of clarity on both the Middle East and the future range of potential oil prices continued to offer market makers an excuse to drop bids as SPX on below average volume, hit its lowest level in six months. 

Following the March 6, 2026, statement from the U.S. President on “unconditional surrender” the Iranian President responded that the comment was a “dream” that U.S. leaders should “take to their graves.” This week’s Middle East actions suggest continued lack of clarity.

SPX -114.75, 6,477 made at its lowest close in six months.   Breadth weakened and was negative as decliners led on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges.  A lack of clarity on both the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz and the future range of potential oil prices, seemed to give market makers an excuse to drop bids as the SPX finished with its largest decline this month on below average volume.
