global markets showed mixed performance amid lingering uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz reopening (Iran demands unmet), which drove oil higher and weighed on risk assets later in the day, while Friday’s weak U.S. jobs data continued to support hopes of a pause in Fed tightening. Asian equities mostly advanced (led by Nikkei), European indices were mixed-to-positive earlier, and U.S. stocks slipped modestly from recent records as energy gained but tech lagged; gold and silver held near multi-week highs, crypto traded around recent levels, and bonds saw yields firm somewhat with oil.
