Here is the translated text into English, maintaining the tone and meaning: --- Global markets experienced a number of economic and financial developments over the past week. U.S. stock indices rose, with the S&P 500 posting its first weekly gain in three weeks at 1.2%, and the Nasdaq increasing by 2.1%, driven by gains in artificial intelligence and technology stocks. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones only advanced by 0.3%. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 index rose by 0.5% after three weeks of losses, despite concerns over debt and fiscal deficits. In Asia, there were fluctuations: the Nikkei 225 in Japan gained 2%, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong fell by 1%. In the oil market, Brent crude steadied around $104.32 per barrel with a slight increase, whereas West Texas Intermediate (WTI) declined by 8% to $92.41, amid ongoing geopolitical risks and tensions in the Arabian Gulf. The U.S. bond market saw its highest ten-year yields in 19 years, reaching approximately 5.2%, which led to higher borrowing costs and decreased appeal for stocks. The dollar index rose by 1%, while gold dropped by 2% to approximately $4,280 per ounce, due to the strengthening dollar and rising bond yields. Overall, despite stock gains supported by the tech sector, concerns remain about inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions that continue to influence global markets.
