ASX selloff deepens as rising recession fears collide with bond rout and $US109 Brent
AI Market Summary
Rising Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude toward US$109, reinforcing inflation risks as global government bond yields hit multiyear highs. The bond selloff tightens financial conditions and heightens concern that central banks may need to keep policy restrictive, increasing recession risk and pressuring equity valuations, including Australia's ASX. A smaller-than-expected US Treasury buyback failed to calm bond volatility, amplifying risk-off positioning.

A global selloff in bond markets has pushed government yields to multiyear highs, while escalating tensions in the Middle East lifted Brent crude to nearly $US109 a barrel and intensified inflation concerns. Investors are increasingly worried that highly valued equity markets are nearing a tipping point, and that central banks may be forced to raise rates in a way that triggers a recession. The Australian share market’s selloff has deepened amid those fears. A US Treasury debt buyback came in below expectations and did little to calm the bond-market turbulence.
