China Unemployment Rises as 30-Year Yield Hits 2007 High and Bitcoin Tests a Six-Week Breakout
from Market Brief - After Hours
On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, oil jumped past $90 a barrel as US-Iran tensions escalated, sending Wall Street off last week's record highs and pushing the 30-year Treasury yield to its highest level since 2007. We break down China's cooling jobs data against a surprise stock rally in Shanghai and Hong Kong, why Bitcoin is testing a key six-week technical level, and the FX story across EUR/USD, GBP/USD and AUD/USD. Plus, we cover Canada's hotter-than-expected inflation print, a sharp UK housing slowdown, and a wave of double-digit stock swings from biotech to semiconductors. Hosted on Acast.
