The beginning of the working week was extremely nervous for investors. Monday began with a sharp rise in oil prices - the cost of Brent soared by 29% and for the first time since 2022 approached $120 on the background of production cuts in the Middle East. This caused panic on Asian stock exchanges - stocks in Japan fell by more than 5%, in South Korea - by almost 6%. In Europe, the mood was also negative - the STOXX Europe 600 composite index lost 0.6% at the end of the day. Trading in the US was in the red zone for most of the day, but an hour before the close Donald Trump said that "the war is almost over". This caused investors' euphoria - stocks soared, while oil went into negative territory. Oninvest followed what was happening in the market all day long. This is the end of our online coverage.

Investors have changed their strategy: they are leaving Asian markets and investing in US assets
