Global Markets Decline as US-Iran Tensions Raise Oil Prices and Bond Yields
Asian and global stock markets fell sharply amid renewed US-Iran military tensions, which pushed oil prices to five-week highs and triggered a global bond selloff. Rising bond yields, nearing multi-year highs, increased concerns about inflation and potential central bank rate hikes, weighing on equities worldwide. While US stocks showed some recovery supported by strength in AI-related sectors, markets remained cautious due to geopolitical risks and economic uncertainties. Indian markets also declined despite strong GDP growth, reflecting broader risk-off sentiment driven by energy price surges and inflation fears.
