US equities ended higher following a decline the previous day, and the market views this as an opportunity to re-enter the market. Additionally, the market is awaiting the outcome of President Joe Biden’s NATO and G7 summit visits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average concluded the day 1.11 percent higher; the S&P 500 ended the day 1.50 percent higher, and the Nasdaq Composite ended the day 2.08 percent higher.
NATO and G7 leaders met in Brussels to discuss beefing up NATO military forces in Ukraine’s border county, humanitarian assistance, and escalating penalties against Russia’s leadership.
This uncertainty undoubtedly prompts the most hawkish ECB board members to contemplate extending the QE program beyond the summer if the EU economies enter a recession.
Due to the region’s reliance on Russia for oil and natural gas, oil prices in the region have increased due to supply problems. After the summit, the availability of oil and natural gas may worsen further as the Russian government compels payment in rubles for these commodities.
