Global Markets in Flux Amid Economic Data and Central Bank Moves
Global markets are in a state of flux, with Wall Street declining due to unexpected U.S. job openings and potential Federal Reserve rate hikes. Asian markets are also suffering, hitting an 11-month low. Currency markets are volatile, especially the USD/JPY and USD/CAD pairs. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has raised interest rates to a near 14-year high. Commodities and digital assets show mixed performance, with gold prices at a 7-month low and crude oil experiencing a slight uptick.
