On Monday, US 10-year bond yields exceeded 5% amid rising crude oil prices and increased market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike, while US and European equities declined following calls by some tech CEOs for regulation of frontier AI. These calls drew public dissent from executives such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang, who argued against slowing AI development.

Critics have suggested that these divergent positions reflect conflicting commercial interests among industry leaders regarding market competition and regulatory frameworks.
