【Dow Jones】
The Federal Reserve (Fed) is about to hold an interest rate meeting in May. With a sharp interest rate hike imminent, the 10-year US Treasury yield rose on Monday and hit 3% for the first time since 2018. The Dow Jones fell more than 500 points intraday during the opening as technology stocks fell sharply but clawed back to a small increase of 0.26% after that.
Alligator shows a Death Cross which indicates that the long-term Dow Jones still has selling pressure. A long lower shadow line also makes the KD indicator have a low-end divergence. The key would be on whether the price can break through the previous lows.

The Belgorod region on the Russian-Ukrainian border reported fires yesterday. Thick black smoke soared into the sky, and although Governor Gladkov declared it was just a fire, most people thought that it had to do with the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Gold continued to fall all the way down to the region of $1853 per ounce. It is not only affected by the rise in the US dollar index but there has been also some selling pressure encountered as well. Alligator shows an obvious death cross while the KD indicator shows a low-end figure.

【Crude Oil】
Officials at the European Commission's executive board said that the crude oil embargo was in preparation and is expected to be implemented in phases. Hungary and Slovakia still remain highly dependent on Russian crude imports. However, the reluctance is shown by some in Europe. Cyprus was still mulling over Washington's request to transfer its Russian-made weapons to Ukraine. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic discussed with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ways to strengthen Serbia-Russia strategic partnership and energy cooperation. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a fierce opponent of sanctions against Moscow and has made it clear that he will not give into pressure from the EU leadership.
There is still a relatively strong buying in the support of crude oil, but from the current stage of the price trend, the swing band is getting smaller. At this stage, it is advisable not to trade against the trend so as not to suffer losses should there be a clearer breakthrough.
