The market is monitoring geopolitical escalation and its impact on Oil and SaaS sectors, with current futures showing declines in the US 30, US 500, US Tech 100, and Small Cap 2000. While the S&P 500 VIX has risen to 22.13, some investors are looking to buy oversold sectors via the $IGV software ETF. Sentiment remains cautious as the market weighs whether to price in a bearish "full escalation" or a potential negotiation period.
