Why Asia-Pacific closed broadly down
OCBC Downgrade

OCBC's 5.9% drop after Citi's "sell" rating led the STI's decline.

Rising Oil Prices

Brent crude's 4% surge to $104.32 heightened inflation concerns, pressuring equities.

Elevated Bond Yields

Persistent high U.S. Treasury yields dampened investor appetite for risk assets.
