President Donald Trump Claims Fuel Prices Will Drop "Quickly" When the U.S. Wins the Iran War, but He's Completely Missing the Bigger Picture
Regardless of when the Iran war ends, the inflationary damage has already been done.
Overview
Despite a laundry list of headwinds, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) have rallied to several record highs in 2026.
However, well-above-average inflation might be the straw that breaks the stock market's back. Trumpflation (inflation that's specifically driven by President Donald Trump's policies) has boosted prices above the Federal Reserve's comfort zone, with the effects of the Iran war doing most of the heavy lifting.
