Sahmino Newsroom | 12 November 2026 | 2 days ago

Anadolu Agency reported that global markets traded mixed on Thursday 12 November 2026 (21 Aban) amid volatility in tech stocks, hot US inflation and rising Treasury yields. The US Dollar Index reached 103.08 on Wednesday, a 19-month high, and stood at 102.97 on Thursday, a move of 0.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield was reported at about 4.99% as Federal Reserve officials took a hawkish line on inflation and expectations of a rate hike rose.

In the same report, the gold ounce fell 0.2% to $3,978. January-delivery Brent crude fell 1.6% to $91.3 a barrel after a report that US Vice President JD Vance had considered direct talks with Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary-general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. On Wall Street on Wednesday the Dow Jones rose 0.49% and the S&P 500 about 1.31%; near the close of Asian trading on Thursday, South Korea's Kospi was down 0.6%.
