Global stocks fell yes­ter­day as a sell-off in gov­ern­ment bonds spilled into the equity mar­ket, extend­ing the recent wobble for tech shares on Wall Street.

The US blue-chip S&P 500 index was down 1.4 per cent by mid­day in New York while the tech-heavy Nas­daq Com­pos­ite dropped 1.6 per cent as major equit­ies indices in Europe also declined.

The falls came amid pres­sure on US Treas­ur­ies and other gov­ern­ment debt, partly due to investor wor­ries over rising debt piles in many major eco­nom­ies.

“The risk-off sen­ti­ment today is broader mar­ket unease stem­ming from the bond mar­ket,” said Mar­ija Veit­mane, head of equity research at State Street Mar­kets.

Yes­ter­day's moves on Wall Street exten­ded declines from Fri­day's ses­sion when the Nas­daq Com­pos­ite dropped 1.2 per cent and the S&P 500 fell 0.6 per cent.
