Global Markets:

Asia markets declined on Monday as investors weighed renewed geopolitical tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran to get moving, FAST,' raising fears of further escalation in the Middle East and potential disruptions to global oil supplies.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump on Sunday said 'the Clock is Ticking' for Iran and warned there 'won't be anything left' if action was not taken soon, adding that 'TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!' He did not elaborate on the steps he wanted Iran to take or the consequences that could follow.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained elevated despite a fragile ceasefire reached in early April. The U.S. has continued its blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran has kept the Strait of Hormuz shut since the conflict began.

Last week on Wall Street, the major indices closed lower on Friday, weighed down by losses in technology stocks and a rise in U.S. Treasury yields after a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping ended without major policy breakthroughs, leaving traders worried.
