What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Times reports three people were killed and dozens injured in attacks on Saudi airports, including the capital's.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Saudi government said the dead included two women and a Sudanese man. A Houthi spokesman said the militia carried out the attacks.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAs we told you earlier, the Houthis claimed new attacks. What's new is the toll, and the targets are civilian airports.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat raises the stakes for air travel across the region.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe risk premium on Middle East oil and air travel is rising. That's the analyst view, not a price.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe data doesn't say why any stock moved today.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere is the tape. The S and P is down point two two percent at seven thousand eight hundred two.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Dow is off point six six. The VIX is at fifteen point oh eight.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat to watch: further strikes, any Saudi response, and whether futures hold. S and P futures are down point three percent tonight.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFutures down point three is a dip, Dale. A gift. Airports reopen, and I'll still be right and tan.

  11. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVera, you called a missile strike a gift. Even my bunker has a complaints department, and it's staffed entirely by me.
