Asia shares downbeat on the week as bond yields, oil stay high

Asian stock markets experienced a downbeat performance throughout the week. This negative trend was primarily driven by the persistence of high bond yields and elevated oil prices, which pressured investor sentiment across the region. The market volatility reflects broader economic concerns as traders react to the sustained levels of these key financial indicators. Consequently, shares across Asia struggled to maintain gains, closing the weekly period on a weak note amid these challenging macroeconomic conditions.
