U.S. stocks declined last week due to rising oil prices and war risks, with the S&P 500 falling 1.67% and the Nasdaq 100 dropping over 2%. Oil prices surpassed $100 per barrel amid heightened tensions with Iran, prompting a cautious market tone and a shift towards energy and defensive sectors. Cryptocurrencies also fell, with Bitcoin near $66,000. Interest rates are a concern, as the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.42% and mortgage rates approached 6.43%, impacting housing demand.
