global financial markets experienced widespread downside pressure as high-flying artificial intelligence and semiconductor equities faced intense profit-taking. Mounting energy price risks pushed crude oil higher, while fixed-income yields surged sharply—briefly carrying the benchmark US 10-year Treasury yield above 5.0% for the first time since 2023. The combination of elevated energy costs, high borrowing rates, and monetary policy uncertainty ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting weighed heavily on risk assets across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
