On March 9, Brent crude oil soared 29% to nearly $120 and then reversed, setting the largest intraday rise and fall gap in history. Oil prices exceeded 100, reversing global interest rate cut expectations.

The risk of selling U.S. stocks has increased sharply. Yardeni raised the probability of collapse to 40%. The S&P 500 fell 3.2% in a single week, and the VIX was running at a high level. Geographical conflicts have replaced supply and demand fundamentals and become the core driver of asset pricing.
