Why Did Global Markets Slip Sharply Overnight?
About the Risk-Off Move
Global markets witnessed broad selling pressure with equities, commodities and high beta assets retreating simultaneously. The trigger matrix ranged from technology worries to softer economic signals.
When multiple asset classes decline together, participants usually shift toward capital preservation.
The decline was not limited to one sector. Mega caps, cyclicals and growth counters all participated, signalling reduction in risk appetite rather than isolated profit booking.
Major Global Moves
🔹 Technology counters faced sharp cuts.
🔹 Bond yields eased.
🔹 Energy weakened.
🔹 Precious metals corrected.
🔹 Crypto remained under pressure.
Such alignment across assets often leads traders worldwide to reassess exposure at the open.
