(Bloomberg) — The surge in energy prices fueled stock volatility amid an intensifying debate on whether inflation pressures will be transitory or derail the economy. Traders also assessed a news report that China is expanding its crackdown to banks.

After swinging between gains and losses throughout most of the session, the S&P 500 headed toward its second consecutive drop, with volume 10% below the average of the past month. West Texas Intermediate crude climbed to a seven-year high, hovering near $81 a barrel. Aluminum jumped, while Chinese coal futures hit a record.

Investors have been on guard for what Chinese regulators may target next, with the government tightening its grip on sectors ranging from private education to digital gaming, property and insurance. Meantime, the rally in commodities has unsettled traders, with supply bottlenecks complicating the outlook for policy makers, who are seeking to balance the withdrawal of stimulus with concerns that growth may have peaked.

“Surging global energy prices along with higher interest rates have created additional angst among investors,” said Craig Johnson, technical market strategist at Piper Sandler & Co. We don’t believe price pressures and supply constraints “will offset constructive demand and growth trends. Earnings will be the next key test for the broader equity market,” he added.

The third-quarter earnings season kicks off this week, with results from financial firms. Investors are looking for signs that loan growth is starting to stage a comeback at the biggest U.S. banks. Executives have pointed to early indications that small businesses and individual consumers are taking on debt again after government stimulus checks depressed demand during the Covid-19 crisis.

Elsewhere, Bitcoin climbed above $57,000 for the first time since May. As in past rallies, a myriad of reasons are being cited for the surge — from an easing of concern about regulatory efforts in the U.S. and China, as well as renewed optimism about a possible Securities and Exchange Commission approval of a cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund.
