The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Tuesday that accumulating debt and inflation could lead to a "disorderly" surge in sovereign bond yields, a risk exacerbated by borrowing pressures from the AI investment boom. The IMF noted that the global economy's resilience is nearing its limits, and if AI productivity fails to materialize, the U.S. stock market could fall by 20%, with global economic growth by 2028 falling 1.1% below baseline expectations.

In the markets, Asian tech stocks generally fell, influenced by the U.S. market, with major companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and SoftBank Group seeing their share prices decline. This was primarily due to investor concerns about the prospects of AI financing and intensifying competition. China's CXMT announced over the weekend progress in developing a new chip architecture aimed at increasing memory density, but analysts noted that Chinese memory manufacturers still face technical challenges in the short term.

Separately, U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision last week to temporarily ease restrictions on Russian diesel exports, a move that had drawn bipartisan criticism.
