The Intelligence Layer Beyond Your Own Book

Global equities are under pressure this morning as a sharp sell-off in government bonds pushes borrowing costs higher and investors reassess inflation risks. Nasdaq 100 futures are down 0.77%, while S&P 500 futures are 0.39% lower at 7,740.0 this morning.

Gold rose 0.4% to around $4,395 an ounce as a weaker dollar and falling Fed hike expectations supported demand for the precious metal. Copper also climbed toward a record high, with spot prices reaching $478 a ton, reflecting stronger risk appetite and optimism around global industrial and AI-related demand.

Technology stocks continued to lead gains overnight, with South Korea's KOSPI rising 3.27%. Chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both gained more than 5%, extending the recent rally in semiconductor stocks as optimism around AI investment remains strong.
