Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, reviews a market facing renewed pressure from escalating Middle East tensions, rising oil prices, and higher Treasury yields.

Concerns around cash flow pressures have weighed on mega-cap tech and semiconductor names despite solid results. Meanwhile, Brent crude has surged above $100 per barrel, adding to inflation and geopolitical concerns. Against this backdrop, investors are closely watching key earnings reports, central bank meetings, and economic data in the week ahead.
