SPY Falls 0.8%; U.S.-Iran Tensions and Hynix Selloff Combine — Is the Pullback Deepening?
The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) fell 0.77% to $749 as all three major indices closed lower. Two headwinds converged: the Trump administration's renewed Iran blockade reignited Strait of Hormuz tensions, with 'U.S.-Iran war fears resurfacing,' while SK Hynix's crash triggered a semiconductor and memory sector stampede that dragged down heavyweight tech names. Risk-off sentiment drove capital into defensive assets. With geopolitical conflict and AI bellwether selloffs pressing simultaneously, is this pullback from recent highs a brief flight to safety — or the opening move of a larger-scale correction?
