Tensions boost bond yields, stocks fall, oil rises
US-Iran tensions are escalating, leading to a rise in oil prices by up to 2.54%. The price of American crude surged to $85.51, while Brent crude reached $90.34 per barrel. Meanwhile, stock markets around the world declined due to increased risks and geopolitical tensions. At the same time, government bond yields, including the 10-year US Treasury yields, increased to 4.764%, the highest level since January 2025, reflecting expectations of tightening monetary policy. These developments are likely to lead to a potential interest rate hike again by central banks in September, with market investors betting on a 64% chance of a rate increase according to futures market forecasts.
