Dow Jones Top Markets Headlines at 3 AM ET: U.S. Treasury Yields Fall in Asian Trade | Putin ...

In early Asian trade, U.S. Treasury yields slipped as oil prices declined, keeping long-end yields below recent multi-decade highs. The day’s wider market focus includes reports on Vladimir Putin floating a summit with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to discuss an end to the Ukraine conflict, with President Volodymyr Zelensky not included. China’s third-quarter growth accelerated 4.5% on exports, though consumer sentiment and property market stress persist. In rates, investors are turning toward a December increase, after concerns that inflation may stay hotter than expected even if the Fed pauses in October. Several headline themes also touch on the AI “trade” and bond-yield link, energy refinery bottlenecks, and commodity signals such as silver’s roughly 50% drop.
