Geopolitical tensions push crude futures higher.

Bob Iaccino details the morning's broad market selloff, with all four major equity indexes and precious metals trading notably lower. Meanwhile, WTI crude futures are surging due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East following recent remarks from the U.S. president. Iaccino also previews tomorrow's crucial non-farm payrolls report, despite most major U.S. markets being closed for the Good Friday holiday. Plus, an upcoming afternoon speech from Fed Governor Michelle Bowman could provide further insights ahead of first-quarter earnings.
