Global financial markets reacted sharply to higher-than-expected U.S. inflation data and hawkish rhetoric from Federal Reserve officials. Bond yields experienced their most significant surge in 19 months, with the two-year U.S. Treasury yield rising 17 basis points on Tuesday. The shift in market sentiment follows comments from Fed Governor Chris Waller, who indicated he would consider supporting a 50-basis-point interest rate hike in December if core inflation remains high. While bond prices slumped and the dollar remained firm, some equity markets showed resilience despite the increased likelihood of more aggressive monetary tightening.
