      Peak Uncertainty? Stocks Slide as Iran Conflict Escalates, Then Stage Intraday Rebound

      The market’s recent “ignore geopolitics” mindset faded Tuesday morning as U.S. stocks opened sharply lower amid escalating conflict with Iran. By late morning, however, equities began to recover as oil prices pulled back and volatility cooled. Market Close (March 3, 2026) Dow Jones Industrial Average: 48,501.27 (-0.83%) $S&P 500(.SPX)$ : 6,816.63 (-0.94%) Nasdaq Composite: 22,516.69 (-1.02%) Best Sector: Financials (-0.2%) Worst Sector: Materials (-2.7%) Hot Stock: $Workday(WDAY)$ (+7.2%) Biggest Loser: $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ (-8.7%) Defensive positioning remains selective rather than broad-based, suggesting investors are hedging rather than fully de-risking.
