Joby Aviation's (NYSE: JOBY) stock declined by 17.9% in March, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence . It came as part of a broad-based sell-off in risk assets (for reference, its peer , Archer Aviation , declined 27.4% over the same period), in line with the S&P 500's overall decline . Higher-risk assets are often sold off inordinately in such times, as there's a flight to safety. That said, it was a mixed month operationally for the company. Starting with the negative news, Joby and Archer, for that matter, are being impacted by the conflict in the Persian Gulf. In late February, just days before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, Joby and Uber announced Uber Air, which will allow customers to book Joby air taxis via the Uber app. Given that the first customers for the service were expected to be in Dubai, the announcement coudn't have come at a worse time. Archer was also targeting the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for its piloted flights, and has deals in place to test and ultimately fly electric vertical take-off and landing ( eVTOL ) air taxis in Saudi Arabia as well. Unfortunately, until the conflict in the region is decisively resolved, Joby and Archer's plans are likely to be on hold. Continue reading

spawns/iStock via Getty Images Introduction In recent weeks, the Technology ( XLK ) sector has continued to slide where it entered into correction territory. In my opinion, this has a lot to do with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. While I expect more volatility in the near-term despite the Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) surging on potential news of the war ending soon , I'm continuing to dollar-cost average into some of my favorite growth ETFs. Going forward, I remain bullish on artificial intelligence and anticipate growth-focused ETFs see a strong run after the conflict with Iran gets resolved. But in the short to medium-term, these funds could see muted returns. In this article, I discuss the two ETFs I'm buying currently, and why both are attractive if you're focused on growth and have a long-term time horizon. Tech Stocks Headed For A Bear Market? Coming into 2026, the broader market had solid momentum after closing up more than 16% in 2025. Rate cut hopes were on the table. But now with the ongoing war and President Trump threatening to blow up Iran's oil wells if they fail to make a deal, we could see a bear market soon. Whether the two sides can come to an agreement remains to be seen, but investors are growing worried as the days go on. Currently, it appears many are raising cash. And while the market seems to be in oversold territory, I think we see a steeper sell-off if we do end up continuing operations in Iran. Bloomberg The main reason is because we are likely to see higher inflation. Coming into the new year, the market was pricing in interest rate cuts. Now, there's a potential to see rate hikes. If we do see a hike, I believe this will send the market into bear territory. But of course, a lot can change in a short amount of time. iREIT+HOYA My suggestion is investors have some cash readily available to take advantage of the buying opportunities I anticipate in the near to medium term. While I'm currently buying the two ETFs I discuss today in small batche...

Abu Dhabi Halts Operations At Main Gas Plant After "Falling Debris" From Iranian Strike Operations at Habshan, the UAE’s massive onshore gas-processing hub operated by ADNOC Gas in Abu Dhabi, were halted on Friday after local authorities said a fire broke out at the facility due to "falling debris" from a "successful interception by air defense systems" of an Iranian air-delivered munition. " Abu Dhabi authorities are responding to an incident of falling debris at the Habshan gas facilities following a successful interception by air defense systems, " the UAE's Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Management Center wrote on X.

The public is… — مركز إدارة الطوارئ والأزمات والكوارث (@Adcmc_ae) April 3, 2026 Habshan is at the core of the process by which raw natural gas from Abu Dhabi’s upstream energy assets is cleaned, treated, and split into usable products for domestic use. The facility produces gas for domestic use, along with NGLs, condensate, and sulfur. It's also the starting point of ADNOC's crude pipeline to Fujairah, the world's second-largest bunkering hub and a critical energy export terminal that bypasses the Hormuz chokepoint. ADNOC states on its website that Habshan serves utilities and industrial customers across the UAE, including desalination and steel, and that it supplies about 60% of the country’s natural gas requirements. Habshan ranks among the world's top gas-processing complexes and comes weeks after Iranian strikes on QatarEnergy’s massive LNG complex, which will require $20 billion in repairs and years to fix and will curb about 12.8 million tons...
