Elsewhere, Asian markets tumbled as U.S. strikes on Iranian targets pushed oil above $94 a barrel and lifted bond yields, with warnings that energy costs are edging the global bond market closer to stress. Geopolitical risk is compounding macro uncertainty: Treasury yield concerns persist, while the yen remains under pressure, prompting U.S. pressure on Japan to act decisively on monetary policy. G20 discussions also highlight friction over trade imbalances, with China dissenting against a push to address "cheap exports." Central bank caution dominates, as the BoJ signals nimble, conditions-based rate hikes and finance officials emphasize close market dialogue. In crypto, regulation is maturing alongside institutional participation. A 21-bank stablecoin venture, backed by frameworks like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act, underscores the shift toward compliant dollar-pegged instruments. Yet the landscape is uneven: Singapore is tightening stablecoin rules with 100% backing and an interest ban, while Russia's new retail framework opens a regulated market. Professional standards are evolving too, with new AICPA guidance and SEC proposals aiming to clarify digital-asset treatment. Still, digital assets remain tied to the broader risk-off mood, with surging oil and bond-market strain dragging Bitcoin and Ethereum lower. As regulatory clarity improves, investor attention is split between adoption-driven optimism and macro-driven caution.
