what happened
According to TradingView, global market sentiment remains under pressure from concerns about artificial intelligence-related stocks, the prolonged conflict in the Middle East and rising crude oil prices. Debt stress and political unrest in Europe are also weighing on investor mood.
Wall Street futures have slipped and major European benchmarks are trading in negative territory. The DJIA fell 0.56% to 52,571.60, the S&P 500 lost 0.17% and Germany's DAX dropped 0.73%.
why it matters
Brent crude gained 1.14% to $114.46 as Houthi attacks on Saudi targets escalated, supporting the energy sector but adding to inflation risks. Gold dipped 0.6%, the dollar index rose only 0.10%, and Bitcoin slid 0.4% to $81,550.40. The market is reacting to geopolitics and commodity prices at the same time.
