Sovereign bond yields surged across international markets as mounting fiscal deficits, inflation anxieties, and intensive capital demands from the technology sector spooked investors. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to its highest intraday level since 2007, while long-dated government debt yields in Japan, Germany, and France similarly soared to multi-decade peaks.

Crude oil futures climbed significantly following a breakdown in diplomatic negotiations and a collapsed ceasefire between the United States and Iran over the shipping corridors of the Strait of Hormuz. The geopolitical friction triggered aggressive rhetoric from the Trump administration and introduced a heightened risk premium to global energy markets, driving Brent crude toward 91 dollars a barrel.

Digital assets showed mixed but steady performance compared to equity markets, with Bitcoin rebounding back above the 64,000 dollar threshold. While alternative cryptocurrencies remained largely range-bound, market participants have been closely monitoring geopolitical headwinds and anticipating upcoming White House policy discussions involving crypto executives.
