Extended read
A sudden 5% surge in oil prices, triggered by the U.S. revoking Iran sanctions waivers, has sent shockwaves through the equity markets. The Nasdaq plummeted 5%, reflecting fears that higher energy costs will fuel inflation and force the Fed's hand. Simultaneously, extreme volatility in Asian markets - highlighted by a circuit breaker in Korea following Samsung's earnings - suggests that even positive fundamental news is being met with aggressive profit-taking and liquidity withdrawals.
