US markets sold off sharply: The S&P 500 fell 1.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.7%, and the Nasdaq-100 lost 1.5% as AI disruption fears and a new 15% US import tariff rattled investors; software stocks were hit hard, with IBM plunging 13% after Anthropic unveiled a COBOL-modernising AI tool.
Europe also weakened amid trade tensions: The Stoxx Europe 600 slipped 0.5% as tariff uncertainty weighed on trade-sensitive sectors; Novo Nordisk sank 16% after disappointing obesity drug trial results versus Eli Lilly.
Safe havens rallied while risk assets slid: Gold surged to record highs above $US5,200, US 10-year yields fell to 4.03%, oil was slightly softer and cryptocurrencies dropped sharply with bitcoin down 5.4%.
