This is absolutely INSANE.
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE WIPED OUT AND ADDED BACK IN LESS THAN 22 HOURS.
When U.S. futures opened Sunday night, markets immediately reacted to the Middle East war escalations.
Stocks sold off sharply.
The S&P 500 fell 2.3%, wiping out about $1.33 trillion.
The Nasdaq dropped 2.4%, erasing roughly $924 billion.
The Dow fell 2.3%, losing about $529 billion in market value.
At the same time, energy markets exploded.
Oil +31%
Brent +25%
natural gas +10%
Then just before the U.S. market opened, a single statement changed everything. G7 finance ministers said they were ready to release strategic reserves and act to stabilize global energy supply if needed.
Within hours, energy market crashed.
Oil crashed –32%.
Natural gas crashed –13%.
But U.S. Equities started surging on this.
The S&P 500 jumped 3.5%, adding $2.03 trillion.
The Nasdaq jumped 4.35%, adding roughly $1.67 Trillion
The Dow jumped 3.3%, adding about $759 billion.
One government statement was enough to move trillions of dollars across global markets in just a few hours.
