In addition to complacency in the market, the combination of profit-margin pressures, inflation fears, Fed tapering and possible higher taxes could contribute to an eventual drawdown, market strategists say.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S. on Tuesday, recovery-centered stocks like\u00a0Caterpillar,\u00a0Chevron\u00a0and\u00a0JPMorgan Chase\u00a0pulled back while Big Tech stocks like\u00a0Amazon,\u00a0Apple\u00a0and\u00a0Alphabet\u00a0gained. Energy stocks took a hit after West Texas Intermediate crude futures hit their highest level in more than six years before turning negative.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices were mildly higher on Wednesday afternoon in Asia following the plunge Tuesday, with international benchmark\u00a0Brent crude futures\u00a0marginally higher at $74.55 per barrel.\u00a0U.S. crude futures\u00a0advanced 0.12% to $73.46 per barrel.<\/p>\n<p>Volatility in the oil market follows an\u00a0indefinite postponement of talks between OPEC and its oil-producing allies\u00a0after the group failed to reach an agreement on its output policy for August and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>On the data front, Russia releases inflation data for June and France releases trade data for May.
