In today’s episode of Market Brief – After Hours, global markets swing wildly as oil prices collapse after an earlier surge driven by fears of disruption in the Persian Gulf. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq trade through another volatile session as crude plunges from earlier highs near $120, easing immediate inflation fears but leaving investors cautious amid the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran and uncertainty around shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

We break down the surprising rally in European markets after the sharp drop in oil, the technical outlook across EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and AUD/USD, and continued strength in Gold and Silver as geopolitical tensions remain elevated. Plus the biggest stock movers including a sharp decline in BioNTech, strong gains in SolarEdge Technologies and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and a major after-hours surge in Oracle following strong cloud revenue growth and ambitious AI infrastructure expansion plans.
