Description

Global shares reached a two-month low, while US government bond yields remained close to recent 16-year highs. Investors anticipate that interest rates will stay elevated for an extended period, with concerns about China's shadow banking sector adding to the dampened market sentiment. The US dollar was poised for its fifth consecutive winning week due to expectations of sustained high borrowing costs without a significant impact on the US economy. Crude oil was set to break a seven-week winning streak due to worries about China's economic slowdown and the potential for further US rate hikes. Despite strong economic data from the US, stock markets were affected by soaring bond yields. Ten-year US Treasury yields eased slightly, while Eurozone government bond yields also decreased, reflecting investors' inclination towards safe-haven assets.
