Asian stocks mostly fall as bond-market pressure builds, Nikkei off 0.5% and Kospi slides 3.5%
AI Market Summary
Asian equities opened the week broadly lower alongside softer oil, reflecting risk-off positioning as bond market pressure rises and investors await signals from the Jackson Hole central bank gathering. The sharp drop in South Korea's KOSPI and declines in Hong Kong and China suggest tightening financial conditions and higher rate sensitivity are weighing on regional risk assets, with U.S. equity futures also slightly weaker.
