Global Markets Fall on US-Iran Tensions and Rising Fed Rate Hike Expectations
Asian and emerging-market stocks and currencies declined amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, which pushed oil prices higher and raised inflation concerns. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish remarks increased expectations of a September interest rate hike, strengthening the US dollar and US Treasury yields. Technology shares and South Korean equities led losses, while investors monitored geopolitical risks and upcoming US economic data for further policy signals. Despite Monday's declines, US markets remained on track for monthly gains.
