Global Markets React to Yield Rises, Oil Prices, and Meta AI Launch
What happened
Global bond yields, including the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield, crossed 5.2%, leading to waning demand for non-interest-bearing assets like gold. U.S. oil prices were up more than 4% and exceeded $96 per barrel. Amid this, Meta Platforms slipped 3% in premarket trading after an almost 13% gain the previous week, despite announcing new AI safety software and a $150 billion increase to its stock buyback program.
