What happened
Global financial markets are facing pressure from rising bond yields and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Market fears of prolonged low-intensity war in the Middle East and West Asia are contributing to sharp rises in crude oil prices and long-term US bond yields. This rise in yields is occurring alongside reports of intensifying price pressures and inflationary trends in the Eurozone and the UK.
