Stocks in the U.S. showed on Monday, March 9, the best reversal from decline to growth in at least a few months. Indexes, which had been falling for most of the day, reversed to a sharp rise after Donald Trump's announcement that the war with Iran was nearing an end. Brent crude oil, which in the morning rose to its highest since 2022 - almost $120 a barrel - has since then, on the contrary, started to fall in price by more than 5%.

U.S. stocks changed dynamics sharply in the last hour before the stock exchanges closed: all four major stock indices began to grow rapidly, with the Nasdaq - by more than 1.5%. Brent crude oil went from a rapid rise earlier in the day to a drop of more than 5%.

Oil has fallen below $100 a barrel. G7 ministers' meeting calmed the markets?

Due to the soaring cost of oil in Europe and the United States, prices at gas stations have risen sharply. In particular, the cost of a liter of diesel <a href="https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20260309-france-launches-nationwide-petrol-station-inspections-as-fuel-prices-jump">has risen</a> by about 16% in France since the last pre-war day on February 27. Psychologist Mikhail Tegin explains why, when the cost of a barrel of Brent oil reaches almost $120, our emotions turn on inside in addition to analysis and calculations: we are ready to sell promising tech sector stocks just because it has become 30% more expensive to fill up the car.
