27/03/2026 Daily Reports
- Global markets remain under heavy pressure as geopolitical risks and energy shocks intensify. In the U.S., the Nasdaq has fallen into correction territory, dropping more than 10% from its recent peak, driven by sharp sell-offs in major tech stocks and persistent uncertainty surrounding the U.S.–Iran conflict. Risk appetite continues to deteriorate as investors reassess growth and valuation outlooks under rising macro stress.
- European markets are also weakening, with the DAX declining around 1.5%. The index is being weighed down by a combination of oil-driven inflation fears, rising bond yields, and broader concerns over energy supply disruptions, all of which are tightening financial conditions across the region.
- In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 failed to hold early gains and closed lower, reflecting cautious sentiment across regional markets. Escalating Middle East tensions and uncertainty around global growth prospects triggered broad-based selling.
- Meanwhile, energy markets remain the central driver of volatility. Brent crude has surged to the $107–$110 range following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint. Despite a temporary extension in U.S.–Iran negotiation timelines, markets remain skeptical of a near-term resolution, keeping a significant geopolitical risk premium embedded in oil prices.

U.S. stock futures moved higher on Friday, recovering some of the previous session’s losses after signs of a temporary easing in geopolitical tensions. The decision to postpone potential strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure provided short-term relief to markets, particularly as it reduced immediate risks around global oil supply. Developments around the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for energy shipments, remained in focus as traders monitored signals of continued flow and stability.
In the prior session, equities declined sharply, led by weakness in technology shares as rising Treasury yields weighed on growth-sensitive sectors. Elevated oil prices and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty have also strengthened concerns around stagflation, creating a more cautious backdrop for investors. While the latest headlines offered some support, overall market direction remains highly dependent on geopolitical developments and shifts in inflation expectations.
