Wall Street is looking to start the week on a firmer footing as markets attempt to recover from a three-week slide.

Dow futures are currently in the green, while Asian markets have begun the week on a mixed note.

The big driver for markets right now is the escalating U.S.-Iran conflict, with the Strait of Hormuz effectively choked off, oil prices have been extremely volatile.

Brent crude surged past US$100 for the first time since 2022 last week, briefly pulled back, and has since climbed again.

On Market View, Alexandra Parada speaks to David Kuo, Co-Founder of The Smart Investor, to discuss the latest market movements.
