On April 29, 2023, Wall Street's three major indexes fell, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 369.09 points (0.75%) to close at 48,772.84. The Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged, the most divided since 1992, has heightened inflation concerns amid rising crude prices due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The increase in oil prices followed U.S. President Donald Trump's directive to prepare for a potential blockade of Iranian ports, raising fears of prolonged supply disruptions. Meanwhile, investors are anticipating earnings reports from major tech firms, including Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft, which are expected to influence market sentiment. Despite the overall decline, energy stocks gained from the surge in crude prices, while Robinhood Markets saw a significant drop of 14.5% after missing profit expectations. Data-storage companies benefited from Seagate Technology's optimistic forecast, with Seagate shares rising 10.1%.
