China reported Q3 GDP growth of 4.5% and 4.6% year-to-date, beating expectations and supporting the government's annual targets, which provides a floor for Asian commodity demand. In contrast, India's stock market has fallen nearly 12% since January due to capital flight fears, creating a divergence in Asian market sentiment. This mixed regional data suggests that while Chinese economic stability is holding, emerging market capital flows remain fragile. US Treasury yields are surging, triggering a wave of hedging activity tied to mortgage investments and pressuring growth stocks. Piper Sandler downgraded BXP (Boston Properties) to Neutral, lowering the price target to $64, reflecting ongoing stress in the commercial real estate sector. The rising yield environment benefits financials but poses a significant headwind for high-multiple growth stocks and real estate investment trusts.
