Risk asset sell-off continues amid rising energy costs.

Equity futures are under significant pressure as a broad risk asset sell-off intensifies. Russell, Dow, and Nasdaq futures all show sharp declines following stronger-than-expected Eurozone inflation data and solid JGB auction results. In the energy sector, WTI and natural gas prices are surging due to production shutdowns in Iraq and logistics delays in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Treasury yields continue their upward trend, leading markets to reconsider the path of interest rates. High-level meetings are scheduled to address rising energy costs, while several large-cap companies, including CrowdStrike and Ross Stores, prepare to release earnings. Market participants are also monitoring upcoming ADP employment data and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book for further economic direction.
