Event summary
Caterpillar shares fell due to a sharp increase in oil prices, triggered by new U.S. strikes in the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over inflation, which could lead to sustained high interest rates. The downturn was exacerbated by President Trump's strong statements regarding Iran, further fueling market volatility. Additionally, a rise in the annual inflation rate to 4.2% added pressure, increasing the risk of elevated interest rates and potentially dampening industrial demand.
