Markets weigh Hormuz tensions as oil spikes and inflation data loom

U.S. stock futures were little changed as investors weigh Middle East tensions, higher oil prices and upcoming inflation data; Dow futures fell about 37 points while S&P and Nasdaq futures hovered near flat. Oil jumped over 5% on the Hormuz uncertainty, with WTI around $82 and Brent near $87–$88. Traders await the July CPI on Wednesday and the PPI on Thursday to gauge Fed policy after a weaker jobs report cooled rate-hike bets (roughly a 50% chance for September). In earnings, Cardinal Health and On Holdings are due Tuesday morning, with Cava Group, CoreWeave and Super Micro later; other highlights include Riot Platforms’ post-earnings move and a reported $9B Anthropic deal. Asian markets opened mixed as UBS suggested Chinese equities look attractive.

The Federal Reserve left its policy rate unchanged for a fifth straight meeting, while three regional presidents dissented by voting for a quarter-point hike. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh rejected labeling the move a pause, describing it instead as a rigorous review of the economy, as markets swung on inflation signals and higher bond yields amid ongoing uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.

Tech-led rally lifts Asia markets to fresh highs as rate worries ease

Asian stocks rose on Thursday as technology shares drove gains, offsetting rate-uncertainty, with South Korea’s KOSPI hitting a record near 5,673 as Samsung Electronics led memory-chip gains on AI demand and chip-price optimism; Samsung’s HBM4 mass production news and a chip-shortage backdrop supported pricing. Australia’s ASX 200 also reached a record around 9,118 on strength in mining and banks, while Japan’s Nikkei rose on a weaker yen boosting exporters. January exports in Korea surged about 34%, and softer domestic jobs data kept rate-hike bets in check, even as Fed signals remained hawkish. Mainland China and Hong Kong markets were closed for the Lunar New Year.

Oil Prices and Fed Rate Path Shake Markets.

Oil prices surged after OPEC+ announced a surprise cut in their output target, causing a ripple effect in stock markets and boosting the dollar due to fears about global inflation. Central banks have raised interest rates rapidly in the past year to control inflation. The move by OPEC+ spread through stock markets, with energy-sensitive and tech stocks dropping. The surge in energy costs overshadowed Friday's slower reading for core U.S. inflation. The outlook for U.S. rates could be impacted by data on ISM manufacturing and several pieces of employment data out this week.
