Global stock markets stumbled on Monday as investors braced for potential disruptions due to an increase in COVID-19 cases and concerns over inflation. The rising infections in China, US, and EU have raised fears of renewed lockdowns and supply chain disruptions. Additionally, the US Federal Reserve’s upcoming decision on interest rates and inflation expectations have added to uncertainty in the markets. As a result, major stock indices such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100, and DAX all saw a decline in early trading. Investors are closely monitoring the situation and adjusting their portfolios accordingly.
