Hong Kong Plunges 3% as Bond Yields Spike Ahead of U.S. Jobs Data

Asian stock markets ended mixed on Friday, October 1, 2026, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index falling 3% to an 11-week low near 23,900 points. The decline was driven by rising global bond yields and elevated oil prices, which weighed on risk appetite ahead of key U.S. employment data. Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 0.9%, while South Korea’s KOSPI rose 0.5% and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.8%. Mainland China and India remained closed for holidays. Investors focused on U.S. nonfarm payrolls, expected to show 89,000 jobs added, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield, which hit 5.34% before easing slightly.

Global Markets Slide as 19-Year High Yields and Oil Spikes Pressure Stocks

Rising Treasury yields and elevated oil prices have pressured global equities, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hitting a 19-year high above 5.27%. Asian markets traded lower as investors weighed inflation risks and a recent rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia. U.S. consumer confidence fell to a 12-year low, while job openings declined in August. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again in October as inflation remains above its 2% target.

Asia equities diverge as bond yields hit multi-year peaks and trade truce extends

Asian stock markets moved in opposite directions on Friday, September 24, 2026, as a global bond sell-off pushed U.S. 10-year Treasury yields to a 19-year high of 5.22%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 1.3% on tech strength and a weaker yen, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 1.5% and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.5%. Investors weighed the outcome of the Trump-Xi summit, which extended the U.S.-China trade truce by two months but left key strategic issues unresolved. Rising oil prices and hawkish Federal Reserve expectations further pressured risk assets, with rate futures pricing a 70% chance of another rate hike in October.

AI slowdown fears drag Asian markets as oil rally stokes rate‑hike bets

Asian equities sank as concerns about slower AI development weighed on tech shares, while oil climbed above $100 a barrel, fueling inflation fears and tighter monetary policy expectations. Nasdaq 100 futures fell about 1.3% and S&P 500 futures fell 0.6% as the MSCI Asia Pacific index dropped ~0.5%; Korea’s KOSPI tumbled 3.3% and Japan’s Nikkei slipped 0.6% while Hong Kong rose about 0.2%. Brent crude rose to around $107.5 amid Middle East tensions and a pipeline shutdown, raising the odds of a Fed rate hike later this week (traders priced in roughly a 90% chance). Regional markets were mixed otherwise, with Australia’s ASX 200 little changed and India closed for a holiday.

Inflation Cool-Down Sparks Tech-Led Rally Across Asia and US Markets

Asian equities rose for a fourth straight week as US inflation cooled, boosting bets the Federal Reserve will hold rates next month. MSCI Asia Pacific climbed about 0.3%, led by Korea’s Kospi where Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix extended weekly gains above 14%. In the US, the S&P 500 hit an all-time high and the Nasdaq 100 rose as tech shares rebound, supported by easing inflation and fading hawkish fears. Treasuries held gains with the two-year yield near 4.15%, and markets priced in roughly a 35% chance of a September rate hike.

Asia’s chip rout deepens as SK Hynix slides on weak results

Asia’s chip rout deepens as SK Hynix slides on weak results

Asian tech stocks extended their sell-off as semiconductor names led declines after another weak U.S. session, with SK Hynix down more than 15% after missing estimates despite record quarterly profit and Samsung Electronics falling over 8% (LG Innotek and Seoul Semiconductor also slid). The move reflects ongoing deleveraging in Korea and softer sentiment toward global tech stocks, though some investors see value at lower prices. In the U.S., Nvidia opened lower but finished roughly flat, while Intel fell ~6% and AMD ~8%; memory makers Micron and Seagate also dropped. SoftBank slid about 10% as an AI proxy weighs on sentiment, with Taiwan’s TSMC and regional indices broadly weaker.
