Global Markets Follow U.S. Stocks Lower

Global equities slipped on Monday as markets around the world echoed losses in the U.S., with investors weighing concerns over elevated valuations and uncertain monetary‑policy signals. U.S. futures pointed to further declines, with contracts tied to the S&P 500 down around 0.4 %, the Dow Jones Industrial Average off ~0.3 %, and the Nasdaq 100 down about 0.5 %. Across Asia and Europe, markets broadly opened weak, reflecting spill‑over from U.S. sentiment and concerns about stretched tech valuations. The slide has been attributed in part to fears that the Federal Reserve may be less inclined to ease interest rates soon and that the global growth outlook is becoming more fragile. In addition, safe‑haven assets and currencies held up as equities wobbled, with the U.S. dollar gaining some ground and yields on longer‑dated bonds edging lower. Investors remain cautious ahead of key earnings reports and macroeconomic data that could dictate the near‑term direction for risk assets. #GlobalMarkets #StockSelloff #InterestRates #TechValuations #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
