ROBO is trading at $80.46, down about 3%, as escalating U.S.–Iran conflict and rising oil prices trigger a risk-off shift away from high-valuation technology and AI sectors.

  • Concerns that higher energy costs could pressure inflation and global growth are weighing heavily on sentiment across the robotics and automation space.
