The S&P 500 endured a challenging March 2026, posting a 5.09% month-to-date decline to close at 6,528.52 on March 31 amid escalating Middle East tensions, including Iran-linked oil price surges, and February CPI inflation at 2.4% year-over-year that curbed expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. This marked the index's longest weekly losing streak in recent memory, with intraday lows near 6,300 before a 2.91% rebound on the final trading day. Trader consensus on Polymarket reflected bearish sentiment, pricing lower price bins amid resilient labor data and reduced FOMC easing probabilities. Key April catalysts include Q1 earnings releases and the next policy meeting, with strategists like Goldman Sachs eyeing a year-end rebound to around 7,600.
