A last hour selloff saw the ASX 200 closing lower by around 1% today.

This followed a rocky session in New York overnight, where all major US stock market benchmarks fell sharply on the back of rising US bond yields.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose 4 basis points to 1.82%, its highest level in two years as traders begin to price in expected rate hikes by the Fed.

By sector, Tech was the worst performer on the ASX today, down by more than 2% following a similar slump on Nasdaq.

Financial and Healthcare sectors were also hard hit, each falling by more than 1% amid risk-off sentiment.

Energy however, was up 0.5% after oil prices jumped 1% overnight, with Brent crude trading at US$87 a barrel and inching nearer to its highest level since 2014.

The market is also still digesting Microsfoft’s acquisition of Call of Duty games developer Activision Blizzard in a deal worth $US68.7 billion, making Microsoft the world’s third-largest gaming company (behind Tencent and Sony).

In economics data released today, payroll jobs in Australia fell 0.1% in the month to 18 December, while the Westpac consumer sentiment slipped 2.1% in January amid the Omicron spread.

Data centre Megaport (ASX:MP1) plummeted 16% following an update this morning and amid general weakness in the Tech sector.

Megaport reported a quarterly increase of just 7% to $9.2m for its annual recurring revenue.

The company said however that after ongoing investments in people and technology, it’s well positioned to capture indirect channel opportunities coming into the second half of the financial year and beyond.
