Plenty of things to worry about, Oil, US labour markets and government bond yields, give rise to another difficult week.

The world holds iit’s breath for another difficult week of the conflict, here are the key things to look out for.

Escalating Middle Eastern tensions and a “hawkish hold” from major central banks, left most major indices in the red.

This week the focus shifts to central banks, with a host of meetings. Understanding their reaction to oil price and potential inflation, will set the tone for markets.

Brent crude rallied through the $100-per-barrel barrier for the first time in over a year, driven by an escalating Middle East.

Markets enter the week still processing the full geopolitical and oil shock. The key question now is whether the Middle East conflict stabilises (enabling a relief rally) or broadens further.
