JPMorgan says the S&P 500 could tumble 10% into a correction if the Iran war rages on
Business Insider via Yahoo ^ | March 9th, 2026 | Naomi Buchanan

JPMorgan analysts warned clients that a prolonged war with Iran could send the S&P 500 into correction territory.

The bank's trading desk said its view has turned tactically bearish, explaining that positioning signals investors aren't positioning for further market risks even as volatility surges.

Options pricing implies the S&P 500 could drop another 2.9% this week, the analysts said, adding to last week's losses. They added that the war could send the benchmark index to 6,720, a 10% correction from its most recent peak.

"There has been a clear escalation with oil infrastructure hit on both sides … The precedent of oil infrastructure under attack has officially begun and we believe the products rally seen last week is just starting," JPMorgan's commodities trading desk wrote.

It's not the Iran war, but the Iranian regime holding the world hostage.

$100 oil ascertains a bout of stagflation. A slowing economy with increased prices.

And a bear market. Potentially increasing interest rates.

This is a very big oil shock and it will hurt.

They gotta keep the Iranians going to keep that golden goose of MIC spending at current limits and beyond.

It's a nice "predictable" "market."

Good! This gives people a chance to jump on board. We know it’s going to go up to at least 50,000 after the war is over.

If the market drops, I can roll over my IRA accounts into a Roth, thus minimizing the taxes on Minimum Required Distributions. :-)

Don’t get me wrong. The more perspectives we have on a situation, the better.
But the most important word in a financial analyst’s vocabulary is “could”.

Closely followed by “maybe” and “possibly”.

And JP Morgan already purchased a bunch of shorts before they made that statement. That is how they make lots of money. What a scam.

The market has been WAAAAYYYY overpriced for quite a while. It’s due for a correction.

It's amazing how these pricks talk down the market and buy short. Jamie Dimon is an expert at it.

Yep, JP Morgan and the little rats at Business Insider exploiting this, hoping it hurts Trump and helping the treasonous Democrats in November country be damned.

JP Morgan is run by Jamie Dimon, who is a big leftie globalist.

Breaking News: Banks are scammers. They’re probably betting the opposite way. I’ll continue to buy and hold regardless of the free advice of financial exspurt ANALysts.

Oil prices have dropped since Trump said in an interview that the war is going ahead of schedule and might be ending soon. Honestly what was the point of all of this if Iran’s regime survives, yes their military is gone, their navy is gone, everyone agrees with that but if the Govt is allowed to survive they will just claim they won and nothing changes
