Tanker attacks in Strait of Hormuz raise oil shortage fears
Attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz are increasing oil shortage fears and pushing oil prices higher.
What happened
Attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz are raising fears of a shortage and have pushed oil prices higher, according to The New Voice of Ukraine.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
Higher oil prices can raise inflation expectations and influence how markets think about Federal Reserve rate policy. That matters for the Nasdaq-100 because rate expectations can affect the valuation of tech and growth stocks. TQQQ seeks about 3x the daily moves of the Nasdaq-100, so those swings can be amplified for the fund.
