  "account": "Global stock markets plummeted due to rising oil prices and concerns over the eurozone's debt. The CSI 300 index in China fell 1.8%, while US futures also dropped, with Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 declining 1.8% and 1% respectively. European markets, including the Stoxx 600 Europe, fell 1% at opening, with riskier bond segments experiencing another wave of sell-offs. The price of Brent crude rose 3% to $112 per barrel, and US Treasury bonds saw a surge in demand, causing their 10-year yield to drop to 5.08%. Meanwhile, French and Italian debt faced selling pressure, with their 10-year yields rising to 5.11% and increasing the spread with German bonds.",
