🔍 Market Drivers

Brent crude dropped below $87 per barrel after the Trump administration paused plans to escalate military action against Iran, easing immediate concerns over global oil supply disruptions. However, risks surrounding the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz remain in focus.

Lower energy prices boosted investor sentiment, lifting U.S. equity futures while Treasury yields declined and market volatility eased.
💻 Big Tech Earnings Ahead
Markets are preparing for earnings from several Magnificent Seven companies this week, with investors closely watching AI spending, cloud demand, and corporate guidance.
🏦 Federal Reserve in Focus
The FOMC policy decision on Wednesday remains the week's biggest macro event. Investors will be looking for any signals on the future direction of interest rates and inflation.
📌 Market Outlook
Markets have started the week on a positive note as lower oil prices improve risk appetite. However, the combination of Big Tech earnings, the Federal Reserve meeting, and ongoing geopolitical developments is likely to keep volatility elevated throughout the week.
