      Oil Surges To $115, Stocks Slide As Trump Deadline Looms: What's Moving Markets Tuesday?

      U.S. equities edged lower on Tuesday as escalating military action in the Middle East and surging oil prices kept investors on the defensive. 

      President Donald Trump stated that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” warning that unless Iran’s leadership agrees to a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. could target key Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
