- Central banks raised interest rates to tame inflation, causing global stocks and bonds to dip according to Reuters
- Bank of Japan delivered a split-vote rate hike that tempered hawkish expectations, with the yen weakening as Asian shares mostly rose on easing oil prices per AP and Bloomberg
Why it matters: Investors got mixed signals in a single session — Reuters framed a global selloff in stocks and bonds from rate hikes, while AP and Bloomberg reported Asian shares rising and US bonds rallying on softer oil, meaning the regional impact of synchronized tightening was far from uniform.
