Dow Jones04-07

0302 GMT - Markets could be volatile in the coming days due to the Middle East conflict, eToro's Josh Gilbert says in a note. President Trump reasserted his Tuesday night deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or the country will face bombardment of its infrastructure. "If that deadline passes without progress, we could see a significant escalation in military action," the market analyst says. "This face-off is the single biggest variable across every asset class, from oil to equities," Gilbert says. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
