Las Bolsas mundiales se desploman ante la subida del precio del petróleo

Global stock markets plummeted as oil prices rose. The CSI 300 index in China fell by 1.8%, marking a 20% decrease since June and highlighting the fragile confidence of investors in the world's second-largest economy. European stock markets opened lower, with the Stoxx 600 Europe index slipping 1% in its first trades. Emerging market shares also suffered as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and German bonds.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield fell 0.07 percentage points to 5.08%, while Italian and French bond yields surged, with Italy's rising to its highest level since 2011. Tech-focused companies like Resonac, Lasertec, Kioxia, and Tokyo Electron saw their shares drop. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell by 2.7%, while Alibaba fell 4% after a Chinese regulator called for stricter product quality standards and better consumer protection measures on e-commerce platforms.
