Global markets face volatility as oil climbs
Global markets experienced a volatile week, with oil prices rising supported by escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, which heightened concerns over inflation and energy costs. In Wall Street, energy stocks led gains due to higher crude prices, while the Dow Jones dropped by 0.27%, the S&P 500 remained unchanged, and the Nasdaq increased by 0.4%. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 index declined by 0.81%, with a significant drop of 1.97% in the German DAX, driven by inflation fears and rising oil prices. Meanwhile, in Asia, Japanese stocks suffered broad losses, with the Nikkei falling 2.09%, and Chinese and South Korean markets faced pressure due to declines in growth stocks amid growing expectations of tightening monetary policies and the appreciation of the Japanese yen.
