How Will Tesla Sales, TSLA Stock Be Impacted By Crude Oil Prices Due To Iran War? Gary Black Says Lays Down The Math - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Global stocks dropped for a second week as oil prices surged above $100 due to Iran conflict risks, with markets awaiting key central bank decisions amid inflation concerns.

  • On March 14, 2026, global equity markets fell for a second week as oil climbed above $100 a barrel amid Iranian strikes and Strait of Hormuz risks, while forecasters expect the Federal Reserve to keep rates steady on March 18.
  • Amid halted transit through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's control has stopped most traffic on a route carrying about 20% of global oil, with over 12 million barrels per day taken offline and strikes on Kharg Island disrupting Gulf energy facilities.
  • In Europe, indexes also ended lower, with London's FTSE 100 down 0.4% and Paris's CAC 40 shedding nearly 1%.
  • Traders have pushed expectations for the next Fed rate cut to mid-2027 and put immediate cut odds at less than 1%, delaying easing bets, as long-term yields rise to 4.28%.
  • Beyond oil, supply chains are strained across industries as Qatar's liquefied natural gas plant closure takes a third of global helium offline, 35% of fertilizer inputs transit the Strait of Hormuz, and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index has dropped over 5% since the conflict began.
