A surging U.S. non-farm payrolls report (+162,000 vs. +55,000 expected) rocked global asset classes on September 4, 2026, re-igniting fears that central banks will resume rate hikes. Equity indices across the Americas, Europe, and Asia faced selling pressure as U.S. 10-year Treasury yields surged near 4.80%. Tensions in the Middle East kept oil elevated above $90 a barrel, while safe-haven gold and silver pulled back under pressure from a rising U.S. dollar and hawkish central bank outlooks. Cryptocurrencies traded mostly flat to slightly negative as broader risk sentiment cooled heading into the U.S. holiday weekend.
