With the sharp escalation of geopolitical risks and the unexpected weakness of economic data, the global financial markets are likely to experience significant turbulence on Monday. The deteriorating situation in the Middle East has driven oil futures prices to rise sharply, while the poor performance of U.S. employment data has brought the possibility of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut back into market focus, resulting in downward pressure on the U.S. dollar index.

The Asia-Pacific market may be the first to bear the shock wave—Japanese and South Korean stock index futures have already fallen by more than 1% before the opening, while the Chinese A-share market may test the critical support level of 3000 points; in Europe, the Stoxx 50 futures are also showing a noticeable downward trend, with the energy sector and safe-haven assets expected to become the focus of investors. The three major U.S. index futures are all showing a downward trend, and the tech sector may continue to face selling pressure.

It is worth noting that if the market fear index (VIX) breaks through the key threshold of 25 points, it may trigger a chain reaction in algorithmic trading systems, leading to a larger-scale market sell-off.

For individual investors, it is not advisable to blindly seek a bottom in the current environment. A cautious attitude should be maintained, especially with regard to the potential further deterioration of the situation in the Middle East and its possible impact on the market.

Market volatility is often accompanied by investment confusion. If you feel lost in the current market conditions or encounter decision-making dilemmas during operations, it may be wise to seek professional advice and respond rationally to market challenges. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the U.S. Treasury market will all be affected by these macro factors, and investors need to closely monitor developments.
