The spike in yields came on the heels of unexpectedly robust retail sales data, which suggested that the Federal Reserve might delay anticipated interest rate cuts. This development has cast a shadow over the recent strong earnings reported by major banks like Goldman Sachs.

As the global financial community monitors the unfolding events, the impact of these tensions and economic indicators will continue to play a critical role in shaping market dynamics in the days ahead.
