According to BIT (bit.com) market data, the escalating US-Iran conflict has seen the US military strike targets inside Iran. US President Donald Trump warned Iran would face far more severe retaliation if it launches a counterattack, while Iran has initiated its own response. The renewed conflict has boosted crude oil prices while pressuring US stocks and cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin briefly falling below $77,000. At the close of US trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.79%, the S&P 500 fell 0.71%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.03%. US sectors including semiconductors, storage, optical communications, and cryptocurrencies all retreated. Global sovereign bond yields hit their highest level since 2008, with the 10-year US Treasury yield hitting a near 20-month peak. The US Dollar Index rebounded to near a two-week high, while the Japanese yen weakened below 160, hitting its lowest level since the US intervened in the foreign exchange market in late July. Semiconductor and storage sector performance: Seagate Technology (STX) down 1.42%, Western Digital (WDC) down 0.02%, SanDisk (SNDK) down 1.90%, Micron Technology (MU) down 2.64%, Nvidia (NVDA) down 1.51%, Intel (INTC) down 0.60%, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) down 2.36%, Broadcom (AVGO) down 0.18%, Qualcomm (QCOM) down 2.27%. Crypto-related stocks: Strategy (MSTR) down 6.06%, Coinbase Global (COIN) down 6.01%, Circle Internet Financial (CRCL) down 6.35%, BitMine Immersion (BMNR) down 7.70%. Optical communications stocks: Marvell Technology (MRVL) down 0.60%, Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) down 3.99%, Lumentum Holdings (LITE) down 5.01%, Coherent Corp. (COHR) down 2.09%, Ciena Corporation (CIEN) down 5.87%, Nokia (NOK) down 2.07%. According to Bitget market data, Brent crude oil rose 4.5% to $94.5 per barrel.

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield has hit 3% for the first time in 30 years, and a rate hike by the Bank of Japan this month is now nearing market consensus.

Japan’s benchmark 10-year government bond yield rose to 3% on September 1, its first such level since September 1996, hitting an intraday high of 3.005%. The 5-year yield touched a record high of 2.265%, while the 2-year yield climbed to a 31-year peak of 1.81%. The surge in yields is driven by three key pressures: the Middle East crisis lifting global inflation expectations, near-certain market bets that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates this month, and growing concerns about fiscal expansion under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The Japanese government had assumed a long-term interest rate of 3% in its fiscal 2026 budget to calculate debt servicing costs, and current yields have now officially breached this key threshold. Japan is not alone: amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions and high oil prices, global sovereign bond yields have hit multi-year highs, with yields on U.S., German, and French government bonds all rising to multi-year peaks recently. Japan’s debt burden exceeds 200% of its GDP, making it particularly vulnerable to rising borrowing costs. Ryutaro Kimura, senior fixed income strategist at BNP Asset Management, noted that the bond market has to some extent issued a warning about fiscal expansion. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama declined to comment on yields approaching 3%. Since taking office last October, Prime Minister Takaichi has pursued an investment-led growth strategy centered on semiconductors and AI, with markets concerned this will further worsen the already fragile fiscal situation.

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has climbed to 4.8102%, the highest level since the end of 2023.

According to Bitget market data, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to 4.8102%, its highest level since the end of 2023. Following the escalation of U.S.-Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz risks that lifted oil prices, the market viewed the shock as inflation rather than a safe-haven event, triggering a sell-off in U.S. Treasuries. Combined with recent hawkish remarks from Fed official Christopher Waller, expectations of a September interest rate hike have risen sharply, pushing up global discount rates and financing costs.
