global financial markets closed out a turbulent month driven by tech sector earnings, persistent Middle East geopolitical friction, and monetary policy stances from major central banks. U.S. equities surged during Friday’s session led by mega-cap technology earnings beats, though tech indices logged monthly declines. Asian markets exhibited mixed results, highlighted by a notable rally in Japan’s Nikkei 225, while European bourses traded range-bound amid corporate results and economic growth indicators. Energy and precious metals held elevated ground, with Brent crude nearing $88.59/bbl on West Asia supply dynamics and Gold hovering around $4,040–$4,100/oz. Government bond yields stabilized as investors evaluated a pause in Federal Reserve rate adjustments, while global cryptocurrency markets experienced steady trading volumes.
