Futures Surge After 4 Day Rout On Ukraine War Optimism; Cryptos Soar After two days of sheer market insanity, including Monday''s furious plunge and Tuesday''s rollercoaster session, U.S. equity futures jumped after 4 straight days of losses, following European equities higher, as Ukraine optimism won, at least initially, over fears about high inflation and global stagflation as a result of soaring commodity prices, sparking a furious Delta squeeze (as we will show shortly in a subsequent post).

Dow futures rose 1.5%.

The dollar weakened for the first time in five days, as haven demand waned. Bitcoin soared more than 10% over $42,000 spurred by optimism about an impending U.S. overhaul of crypto oversight that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called “historic.” Investors are bracing for a global stagflationary shock from a commodity-price rally fueled by Russia’s isolation even as supply disruptions threaten to usher in a period of slower global growth.

SINGAPORE: Oil prices soared more than 6%, touching their highest since 2008 on Monday after the United States and European allies mull a Russian oil import ban while delays in the potential return of Iranian crude to global markets fuelled tight supply fears. Brent crude futures rose $8.46, or 7.2%, to $126.57 a barrel by 0128 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $7.65, or 6.6%, to $123.33. In the first few minutes of trade on Monday, both benchmarks spiked more than $10 a barrel to their highest since July 2008 with Brent at $139.13 and WTI at $130.50. Monday''s intraday highs are near record levels seen for both contracts in July 2008 when Brent hit $147.50 a barrel and WTI touched $147.27. The United States and European allies are exploring banning imports of Russian oil, Blinken said on Sunday, and the White House coordinated with key Congressional committees moving forward with their own ban. "A boycott would put enormous pressure on oil and gas supply that has already felt the impact of increasing demand," CMC Markets analysts said. "Prices are likely to rise in the short term, with a move toward $150 a barrel not out of the question." "Such a move will put further pressure on global economies, pushing inflation higher, leaving central banks debating how quickly rate hikes should be implemented." Global oil prices have spiked 65% since the start of 2022, along with other commodities, raising concerns about world economic growth and stagflation.
