Today’s market drop happened as Israel’s defense minister Israel Katz declared a special state of emergency following an Israeli attack on Iran. Two U.S. officials said that there is no U.S. involvement or assistance.

Only about a third of individual investors (33.6%) are bearish about the outlook for stocks over the next six months, the fewest since a January 22 reading of 29.4%, according to the latest weekly survey of sentiment by the American Association of Individual Investors. Last week, 41.4% of Main Street investors characterized themselves as pessimistic about the short-term outlook for stocks. The historical average is 31%. Bullishness, on the other hand, only rose to a three-week high of 36.7%, up from 32.7% last week and still below an historical average of 37.5%, the AAII said. More investors described themselves as neutral about the outlook for stocks, 29.7%, than at any time since Feb. 19 — the same day the S&P 500 closed at an all-time high.

Energy stocks popped in premarket trading amid a jump in oil prices after Israel launched airstrikes against Iran without U.S. support, drawing concerns over the supply outlook from the oil-rich Middle East region. Global benchmark Brent futures with August delivery rose 7.7% to $74.65 per barrel. The U.S. West Texas Intermediate contract with July expiry was last up 8% at $73.52 per barrel. Chevron (CVX) rallied nearly 3%.

U.S. futures are lower, European stocks are lower and Asian markets ended lower.

The national average price of gasoline is up four-tenths of a cent at $3.132 per gallon.
