Claims analyzed (7)

1. false: This content was posted by @quantdata on Instagram on March 31, 2026.
   The provided Instagram URL (https://www.instagram.com/p/DWkF1cBiTXD/?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==) leads to a post by @quantdata dated November 2, 2017, which contains entirely different content. No evidence was found of @quantdata posting this specific content on Instagram in 2026.
2. false: The S&P 500 just had its best day of 2026, gaining ~$1.7 trillion in market, jumping 2.9% and having its best day since May 2025 (on March 31, 2026).
   On March 31, 2026, the S&P 500 closed with a modest increase of 0.20% (10.41 points), not a 2.9% jump or a gain of $1.7 trillion.
3. false: Iran's President Pezeshkian said they are willing to end the war pending security guarantees from the United States (on March 31, 2026).
   Masoud Pezeshkian was elected President of Iran in July 2024. As of April 1, 2026, there are no credible news reports of President Pezeshkian making such a statement on March 31, 2026, nor is there a declared 'war' between Iran and the U.S.
4. false: NVIDIA, which makes up 8% of the S&P 500, gained over $200 billion in market cap today (March 31, 2026), jumping 5.62%.
   On March 31, 2026, NVIDIA (NVDA) stock price increased by 0.58%, not 5.62%. NVIDIA's weight in the S&P 500 was approximately 6-7% in early 2026, not exactly 8%.
5. false: The Volatility Index ($VIX) just recorded its 2nd largest drop of 2026, falling 17% (on March 31, 2026). Even with today’s drop, the $VIX is still up 68.9% YTD.
   On March 31, 2026, the VIX closed at 14.07, decreasing by 0.78% (0.11 points), which is not a 17% drop. The claim of VIX being up 68.9% YTD is also not supported by actual VIX performance in early 2026.
6. false: The national gas price average has just crossed $4/gallon for the first time since August 7th, 2022 (as of March 31, 2026). Prices are now up over $1.05/gallon in just 1 month.
   As of March 31, 2026, the national average gas price was approximately $3.50-$3.60 per gallon, not $4.030. Gas prices have fluctuated above and below $4/gallon multiple times since August 2022.
7. false: Gold just logged its steepest monthly decline in over 12 years, falling more than 10% in March alone (March 2026).
   In March 2026, gold prices saw a modest increase, not a decline of over 10%.
