- Oil prices surged past $100, driving a sell-off across global equity markets per Bloomberg's markets wrap headline.
- U.S. stock futures inched higher as traders attempted to recover from the oil-driven downturn, while Asian stocks were set to fall in the next session, per CNBC and WSJ headlines.
