  "account": "The Asian stock markets faced a sharp decline on Thursday morning, with oil prices rising to $101 per barrel after hitting $100 on Wednesday. Bloomberg reported that Iran had declared readiness for a \"more intense war,\" raising fears of further disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. This increase in oil prices also heightens concerns over inflation accelerating globally and leading to higher interest rates. Kenny Polcari from SlateStone Wealth noted that risk premiums are high and the threat of disruptions to energy supplies from the Gulf is real. Asian technology stocks reacted negatively, with SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics falling by 0.65 and 0.83 percent respectively, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) dropped by 1.01 percent on the Taipei Stock Exchange. Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group fell by 3.64 percent. On Wednesday, US security agencies accused Alibaba and other Chinese companies of stealing information from American AI models, alleging that the firms bypassed American companies' user restrictions and used the data to improve their own models, as reported by Bloomberg. The situation in the Middle East and key US inflation figures released on Friday are being highlighted by foreign media as factors contributing to investors' increased caution. Financial Times reported that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is intensifying pressure on Bank of Japan to lift interest rates. This is driven by concerns that Japan, which holds the largest share of US Treasury bonds, may begin selling them, causing long-term interest rates to rise. Kazuyuki Masu of Bank of Japan's monetary policy committee said on Thursday that the central bank needs to \"implement a rapid rate hike\" if inflation surges, according to Financial Times. The market is expecting the Bank of Japan to raise the policy rate to 1.25 percent next time, which is the highest level in Japan in over 30 years. It was announced on Wednesday that the US Treasury Department would buy back up to $6 billion in government bonds, but the yield on the so-called \"ten-year\" still rose to 4.86 percent despite the increase. Lars Mouland from Nordkinn Asset Management told E24 that the US could force down rates if they truly wanted to. However, Mouland added that two, four, or six billion dollars may not be enough to halt the downward trend.",
