  • A risk-off mood drove yesterday's session and stock markets suffered across advanced and emerging economies. The main U.S. benchmarks declined by more than 1.5% –erasing their year-to-date gains. Losses across European and EM indices also stood in the neighborhood of 1.5%.
  • In fixed-income markets, yields on safe-haven assets (such as U.S. Treasuries and German Bunds) remained subdued and euro area peripheral spreads nudged up.
  • In FX markets, the U.S. dollar strengthened against most advanced-and emerging-economy currencies.
  • In oil markets, the barrel of Brent sunk below $63 (-6.4%, reaching its lowest price in more than a year) as investors raised concerns on the OPEC's commitment to production cuts and on escalating trade tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump added to these concerns as he tweeted that Saudi Arabia has been responsive to requests to keep prices low.
