The decline in Treasury yields, along with the two-year yield surpassing 5% and the relatively high 10-year note yield, reflects shifting investor sentiment and potential concerns over inflation and economic growth.
- Australia and New Zealand experience increases in their bond yields.
Increases in their bond yields, means it is likely to put downward pressure on both countries' equities and currencies.

- Currencies in Asia show mixed performance, with the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index reaching a four-week high and the yen remaining relatively stable.
- Binance Holdings Ltd. faces executive departures amidst regulatory challenges, with ongoing probes in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
