S&P 500 Slides to One-Month Lows on Stagflation Fears: Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank reports that global equity markets, led by the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ, have dropped to one‑month lows. The decline is attributed to rising oil prices and escalating US‑Iran tensions, which have reignited fears of stagflation—a combination of stagnant growth and high inflation.

This move reflects growing unease among investors about the economic outlook, as higher energy costs and geopolitical risks weigh on corporate earnings and consumer spending. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both retreated notably, while other global indices followed suit.

Deutsche Bank’s analysis highlights the fragile market sentiment, with stagflation concerns prompting risk‑off positioning. No immediate catalysts for a reversal have been identified.
