what happened

European stock markets fell, according to Seeking Alpha. The pan-European index dropped 1.33% to 646.3 as investors worried that tighter AI rules in the US could follow the Democrats' decisive election win. The tech selloff quickly spread to other sectors. London and Germany each lost 1.43%, while France fell 1.09%.

why it matters

The equity slide boosted demand for the dollar as a safe haven, and the euro slipped below $1.12 after retreating from one-month highs. Ten-year bond yields barely moved: 4.84% for the US, 5.12% for the UK and 3.22% for Germany.
