Market Update:

Stocks experienced a tumultuous morning session on Wall Street, with a broad decline in trading activity. The ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the volatile fluctuations in oil prices took center stage. The global market sentiment turned sharply negative as crude oil prices spiked by more than 5% from their lows overnight, driven by reports suggesting a potential direct attack by Iran on Israel in response to Israel's military actions in Lebanon. This geopolitical unrest led to a surge in energy and defense stocks, reflecting concerns about a possible escalation of conflict in the region.

Amidst this backdrop, the technology sector, particularly represented by heavyweights like Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), and Broadcom (AVGO), faced significant selling pressure, dragging down the Nasdaq index. Additionally, small-cap stocks were not immune to the risk-off sentiment prevailing in the market, resulting in notable losses across the board.

Shifting focus to economic indicators, the ISM manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) narrowly missed expectations, while the Manufacturing Price Index dipped below the crucial 50 level, alleviating concerns about a sharp uptick in inflation. Construction spending also fell short of consensus forecasts. However, a positive development emerged in the form of the JOLTS job openings estimate, which unexpectedly rebounded above 8 million after hitting a multi-year low last month.

Furthermore, Treasury yields retreated from recent multi-week highs following remarks by European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde hinting at a potential rate cut in the coming month. Lagarde cited progress on inflation and highlighted the persistent risks to economic growth both within Europe and on a global scale. These factors contributed to the overall market uncertainty and influenced investor sentiment across various asset classes.
