Show Notes
Oil prices surged, dragging major stock indexes lower and erasing hopes for Fed interest rate cuts. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones fell, with the Nasdaq tumbling two percent. Global markets followed suit, with European and Australian indexes dropping. Brent crude and U.S. benchmark crude prices soared, while bond yields jumped. Traders now anticipate possible rate hikes as early as 2026 due to inflation fears from higher energy costs. Small company stocks led the declines. Super Micro Computer plunged after U.S. charges, while FedEx rose on strong earnings. Gold also slipped. As oil trading resumes, prices could climb further if the Middle East conflict persists, keeping pressure on stocks and central banks worldwide.
