US markets were volatile: The S&P 500 fell 0.2%, Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite was flat as uncertainty around the Iran war and possible disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz kept investors cautious. Bond yields rose to about 4.15% after a weak Treasury auction and heavy corporate debt issuance.
Europe rebounded strongly: The STOXX Europe 600 jumped 1.9% as falling oil prices and hints the conflict might end soon lifted sentiment. Banks, basic resources, and tech stocks led gains, while energy and healthcare lagged.
Oil drove commodities and currency moves: Brent crude dropped about 8% and West Texas Intermediate crude fell sharply amid mixed signals about shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Gold rose 1.2%, the Bitcoin gained 1.8%, and the Australian dollar strengthened to around US$0.712.
