Wall Street opened lower and oil spiked after Trump rejected an Iran peace proposal.
What happened
Wall Street opened lower as oil spiked after Trump rejected an Iran peace proposal, according to Reuters.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
A jump in oil can feed inflation expectations and, in turn, expectations for interest rates. Because the Nasdaq-100 is weighted toward tech and growth companies, rate expectations can influence the index, while TQQQ's roughly 3x daily exposure can amplify the resulting moves.
