Global Stocks Push Higher Ahead of Big Tech Earnings as Oil Slips on Supply Watch
- Global equity markets advanced as investors positioned for a key run of U.S. technology earnings and an expectedly steady Federal Reserve decision. Asian shares led the move, with major benchmarks hitting record highs as optimism around results from Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla lifted risk appetite. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose around 0.6%, extending gains despite lingering trade-tension headlines, while broader Asia-Pacific markets tracked Wall Street’s positive momentum.
- U.S. equity futures pointed higher, with Nasdaq futures up roughly 0.6% and S&P 500 futures gaining about 0.3%, supported by a calm macro backdrop and expectations that the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged. Technology stocks remained the main driver, reinforcing sentiment after recent Wall Street gains. Although no single DAX-specific headline dominated the session, European futures were firmer, participating in the broader global upswing.
- In energy markets, oil prices moved lower as traders balanced competing supply signals. Brent crude slipped about 0.7% to around $65.15 per barrel, pressured by expectations of potential supply resumption from Kazakhstan. This was partially offset by concerns over disruptions caused by a major winter storm in the United States, keeping downside moves contained.
- Overall, markets reflected a cautiously optimistic tone: equities were supported by earnings anticipation and stable monetary policy expectations, while oil prices softened amid a mixed supply outlook.

US Energy: The Deep Freeze Price Spike

Global Impact: The LNG Domino Effect
- Export Slump: US LNG plants cut gas intake by nearly 50%, meaning fewer cargoes heading to Europe.
- European Storage: EU gas storage has dipped below 45%. Forecasts suggest it could end the season below 25%—tighter than the 2022 energy crisis levels.
- The Silver Lining: Unlike 2022, 2026 sees significant new LNG supply capacity coming online globally to soften the blow.
Metals: Silver is Shaking the World
- Record Breaker: Silver smashed through $110/oz, its biggest one-day jump since 2008.
