Why is US stock market crashing again today? Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq in deep red as oil and silver surge while gold prices crash

US stock market crash today deepened as the Dow Jones plunged nearly 700 points, the S&P 500 dropped over 1%, and the Nasdaq slid sharply. The trigger is a sudden oil price surge above $100 per barrel, with WTI crude near $101 and Brent crude around $102. Silver prices are climbing, while gold prices slipped despite market turmoil. Investors now fear stagflation in the U.S. economy. Rising oil prices, bond yields, and geopolitical tensions are driving volatility across global markets and fueling the latest US stock market sell-off.
