US stocks ended the session slightly lower on Tuesday, as government bond yields continued their ascent ahead of inflation and labour market data, while investors assessed comments from Federal Reserve officials for the path of interest rates.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond climbed to 5.29 percent – its highest level since June 2007. Stocks pared declines, however, as yields eased from their earlier highs and shorter-duration yields were down on the day as oil prices retreated on signs of a recovery in exports from the Middle East and comments from Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams.

Expectations for a rate hike of at least 25 basis points from the Fed at its October meeting declined to 51.5 percent, according to CME FedWatch, in the wake of Williams' comments, from nearly 70 percent earlier in the session. After retreating from highs at the start of the month, oil prices have accelerated higher in recent days as hopes that a US-Iran peace deal...

Paris Fashion Week is under way in the French capital, where powerhouses ranging from Chanel to Louis Vuitton and Dior are showcasing their spring/summer 2027 collections. The blockbuster show of day one was undoubtedly Matières Fécales, the label that went viral earlier this year for designing one of Zendaya’s most talked-about red carpet looks.

Julius Brian Siswojo is as well known for co-founding Hong Kong’s pioneering hip-hop group 24Herbs as he is for championing skateboarding in the city. Having been “on the deck” – skateboarding, for the uninitiated – since 1988, the 52-year-old is acutely aware of the negative stereotypes associated with the culture: rebellious youths causing trouble in the streets late at night.
