Trump Media & Technology's stock fell 5.05% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, as investors reacted to heightened political and economic risks.
The decline follows news that President Trump has initiated a conflict with Iran, leading to surging oil prices, closed shipping lanes, and potential economic instability. With only 27% of Americans approving of the strikes, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, the administration faces a toxic political backlash that could impact companies associated with Trump.
The conflict has already caused oil prices to jump 13% intraday and prompted Qatar to halt liquefied natural gas production, raising concerns about broader economic effects and increased volatility in energy markets.
