Geopolitical Crisis Reshapes Global Markets. President Trump's ultimatum to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz has triggered significant market volatility worldwide. Japanese 10-year bond yields surged to a 28-year high of 2.410 percent, signaling investor concerns about inflation and central bank policy shifts. The Nikkei 225 gained one percent despite bond sell-offs as traders sought equity refuge. South Korea's Won weakened substantially, sliding past 1,510 per dollar amid regional tensions and military uncertainties. Agricultural commodities declined sharply as global wheat, corn, and soybean export demand softened. With one-fifth of global oil supply already disrupted and military escalation continuing across the Middle East, financial markets face mounting pressure heading into the critical Tuesday deadline for potential U.S. infrastructure strikes in Iran.
