However, the market is facing challenges, particularly with crude oil prices. U.S. oil topped $100 a barrel on Monday, raising concerns among investors regarding the impact of surging energy prices on equities.
As U.S. equities enter a corrective phase, defined as a decline of 10%, the market is also wary of a potential bear market, which is characterized by a 20% drop. Observers are closely monitoring the situation as crude-led volatility may be short-lived.
