US equities are continuing to sell off with ES futures retreating below 6800; DXY is strengthening against its peers as EUR/USD nears 1.1800 to the downside; Brent Apr'26 dips below USD 67/bbl.
What it means
US equities are experiencing a notable sell-off, indicating broader market weakness, with ES futures falling below 6800. Concurrently, the strengthening DXY suggests increased dollar demand, particularly as the EUR/USD approaches the critical 1.1800 level to the downside, which signals potential pressure on the Euro. Additionally, Brent crude dipping below USD 67/bbl may reflect concerns about demand or oversupply factors, raising implications for inflation and energy-related assets.
