Sharemarkets keep falling, driven by technology and other growth sectors. It's the commodities and value stocks that are holding up, such as coal and chemicals. But the broad bass alarm of bonds is sounding through markets, with a huge spike in yields indicating higher inflation, higher rates and a continuing drop in the value of equities.

US markets were swept by negativity overnight as the oil price spiked and the Iran war looked set to continue.

Markets continue to climb on (somewhat unconvincing) talk of Iran conflict resolution. Analysts are more convinced that inflation will spike above 4% in the US and 5% in Australia in coming months. Especially the US market is not ready for this, so when it does hit the reaction is likely to be severe.

US markets slid over uncertainty of resolution to the Iran war, with tech stocks hit hard overnight.

A rally in US markets and Australia should be taken lightly by investors. All we need to see is a higher oil price, the US central bank talking of rate hikes or big tech companies showing margin pressure, and markets would be in a tailspin, falling up to 30% from recent highs. It all depends on how the Iran conflict continues from this point.

Talk of G7 countries shoring up oil supply and the US president declaring the Iran war may soon be over saw investor confidence return to global markets. The Nasdaq index surged 1.4%, but the oil trade is far from assured with the Strait of Hormuz still in jeopardy. Key US economic data this week will likely be pivotal to market performance.

Market fear is spiking just as oil pushes higher. As Australian stocks plummet this morning, we're seeing real market fear take hold, reflected in the volatility index heading up toward 'liberation day' levels from last April.

It oil and (surprisingly) software stocks that are holding up.
