The markets are starting the week the way they ended last week – under pressure. All three of the major stock market averages are reeling, including a 1% decline in the Nasdaq Composite out of the gate. The tech-heavy index is being pressured by the likes of ASML Holding (Nasdaq: ASML), Google parent Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: META), to name a few. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is sinking by over 500 points while the broader market index, the S&P 500, is falling another 1%.

The story of the day is oil, which has been soaring over the weekend to surpass the $100/barrel threshold, revisiting a level it has not seen since 2022.
