global financial markets pulled back as stronger-than-expected economic activity and persistent price pressures triggered a sharp sell-off in sovereign bond markets, driving long-term yields to multi-year highs. Equity markets across North America, Europe, and Asia generally closed lower or traded cautiously as investors re-evaluated interest rate expectations and persistent geopolitical uncertainty. Commodities faced downward pressure with crude oil and precious metals pulling back alongside digital assets amid a stronger US Dollar and elevated real yields.
