On September 1, 2026, global financial markets experienced widespread risk-off pressure following escalating military strikes in the Middle East, which sent crude oil prices soaring over 4%. Renewed energy-driven inflation fears drove a global bond selloff, pushing the U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield to 4.79% and international sovereign yields to multi-year highs. The spike in borrowing costs weighed heavily on technology and growth equities across major exchanges. Safe-haven demand boosted the U.S. dollar, while precious metals like gold and silver, along with cryptocurrency markets, pulled back alongside broader equity benchmarks.
