What happened
A global sell-off in the bond market caused U.S. Treasury yields to reach their highest levels since 2007, although the U.S. 10-year Treasury eased slightly to around 5.19% early Friday. Asian shares showed mixed results, with the Nikkei 225 gaining 1.2% while the Hang Seng slipped 1.7%.

Why it matters
Elevated government bond yields are being driven by increasing risks and uncertainties, including rising U.S. government debt and inflationary pressure from energy shocks linked to the Iran war. These factors put pressure on global stock markets and influenced oil prices, which dropped 1.4% to $98.84 per barrel as investors monitored the Strait of Hormuz.
