Global Markets Slide As Middle East Tensions and Bond Sell-off Weigh

Global markets traded lower on Tuesday as investors weighed continued Middle East tensions and a sharp sell-off in bond markets. The declines were broad-based, with major indices in Europe and Asia closing in negative territory. The bond sell-off, driven by concerns over persistent inflation and central bank policy, pushed yields higher, adding pressure on equities. Meanwhile, geopolitical risks in the Middle East kept sentiment fragile, as traders monitored developments for potential supply disruptions.
