Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, US, on Monday, March 9, 2026. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images LONDON — European stocks are expected to open in negative territory on Monday as investors grapple with a further escalation in the Iran war and the conflict enters its fifth week. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index is seen opening 0.2% lower, with Germany's DAX down 0.6%, France's CAC 40 down 0.4%, and Italy's FTSE MIB down 0.4%, according to data from IG. Asia-Pacific markets traded lower overnight and European bourses look set to follow suit, as traders digest the latest war developments over the weekend. U.S. President Donald Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday that said he could " take the oil in Iran " and seize Iran's export hub of Kharg Island. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi movement said Saturday it had fired missiles at Israel , marking its first direct involvement in the U.S.- and Israeli-led war against Iran. In a post on X, Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at what it described as sensitive Israeli military sites, in support of Iran and allied Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. The strike signals a further escalation in a conflict that began with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets on Feb. 28. Oil prices were higher in early Asia trading hours. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up 2.58% at $102.19 per barrel. G7 finance ministers, energy ministers and central bank governors are set to hold an emergency meeting on Monday .

The global oil market is “in for a shock” as the Middle East conflict will likely extend for a prolonged period with Iran leveraging control of the Strait of Hormuz, said Randa Fahmy, a former US associate deputy energy secretary.

The global oil market is “in for a shock” as the Middle East conflict will likely extend for a prolonged period with Iran leveraging control of the Strait of Hormuz, said Randa Fahmy, a former US associate deputy energy secretary. The conflict’s expansion to include Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen is “incredibly concerning” and presents additional risks to global energy supplies, she said, particularly through their potential control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, another critical choke point for energy flows. “If they close Bab el-Mandeb, then we’re going to have a problem, a major problem with supplies,” Fahmy said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “We might be in for the long run.” Maritime shipping routes face significant disruption as vessel owners may avoid the area entirely, further straining global supply chains. “It’s almost impossible for the shipowners and the maritime industry to redraw these maps,” Fahmy said. “They cannot all of a sudden change course.” Read more: Oil Gains as Iran War Escalates With Houthi Attacks on Israel This story was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation.
Israel’s central bank is set to hold interest rates steady for a second consecutive time as the US-Israeli attacks on Iran keep fueling global and domestic inflation concerns.

Israel’s central bank is set to hold interest rates steady for a second consecutive time as the US-Israeli attacks on Iran keep fueling global and domestic inflation concerns. The Bank of Israel will probably keep its base rate at 4% on Monday, according to all of the economists that participated in a Bloomberg survey. The BOI will simultaneously release updated macro economic projections for the first time since the conflict erupted on Feb. 28, followed by a press conference with Governor Amir Yaron at 4:15 pm local time. Israeli markets were volatile ahead of the rate decision, with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange recording its largest declines in almost a year on Friday. The benchmark Tel Aviv-35 index fell 3.8%, wiping out all gains since the hostilities started. The US-Israeli war with Iran is in its second month after President Donald Trump extended a deadline to April 6 for Tehran to agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or have its power plants demolished, while amassing US troops in the region Over the weekend, Yemen-based Houthis joined Iran in launching missiles at Israel, opening a new front and raising fresh risks for the oil market. With the key transit route for oil exports — the Strait of Hormuz — effectively shut, Houthi participation raises the possibility that tankers transiting the southern Red Sea and the Bab El-Mandeb Strait could soon be targeted. Israel is also fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon and has amassed reserve forces on its northern border and elsewhere, stretching the domestic labor market in a way that could trigger additional inflation-inducing supply constraints. While a reliance on domestic natural gas production has countered some of the inflationary impact from surging oil prices, Israel-based analysts have begun to raise their price expectations. Bank Hapoalim , Israel’s second largest lender, raised its 12-month forecast to 2.2%, above the midpoint of the central bank’s 1% to 3% target range, due to a likely elevation of a...
