Markets are pricing in a dual-shock scenario: a geopolitical energy supply crisis colliding with a deepening technology sector rout. Brent crude has surged to $117.59 following a tanker explosion in the Strait of Hormuz and confirmed Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, creating a bullish energy environment that is simultaneously acting as a drag on global growth and consumer sentiment. This energy spike is exacerbating the tech selloff, as investors rotate out of high-multiple growth stocks amid rising inflation fears and cost-of-capital concerns.
