Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended lower as rising Treasury yields and a sharp increase in oil prices linked to Middle East tensions weighed on risk sentiment, prompting a rotation out of cyclical and rate-sensitive sectors while energy stocks provided relative support. Investors reassessed the Federal Reserve outlook as higher yields reduced expectations for rate cuts, with weakness visible across industrials, financials, and consumer names. The S&P 500 declined -0.4%, the NASDAQ declined -0.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined -1.1%.

European equities ended weaker, following the negative lead from Wall Street as higher global yields and energy-driven inflation concerns pressured sentiment across the region. Cyclical sectors including industrials and financials underperformed, while defensives offered only limited stability, reflecting a cautious tone amid global macro uncertainty. The FTSE 100 closed, the DAX declined -1.2%, the CAC 40 declined -1.7%, and the EURO STOXX 600 declined -1.0%.

Asian markets are trading with mixed but generally firmer momentum, supported by resilience in technology and regional demand trends, although the broader tone remains selective amid global yield pressures and energy market volatility. Strength in South Korea and Hong Kong led regional gains, particularly in technology and growth-linked sectors, while other major markets remained closed, limiting overall participation. The KOSPI advanced 5.1% and the Hang Seng increased 1.2%, while the SHCOMP closed and the Nikkei 225 closed.
