Wall Street closed lower today, despite marking a positive month overall. The negative closing is attributed to the resumption of U.S. attacks on Iran. Investors expressed concern over the escalating hostilities, which affected financial markets.

In addition to the conflicts in the Middle East, rising interest rates and increasing oil prices also influenced the stock market's performance. Oil prices surged as a direct result of geopolitical tensions.

Data from the financial market indicates an environment of uncertainty, with investors adjusting their strategies in response to recent events. This behavior is observed not only on Wall Street but also in other markets globally.

Although Wall Street began September on a positive note, the current climate of tension and developments in commodity markets have triggered significant reactions among financial agents.
