What’s Behind the Bond Sell-off?

The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield surged 46 basis points since February 28, the start of the Iran conflict.

Yield moved from 3.94% to a peak of 4.4% as of March 24.

If geopolitical conflicts typically drive investors to safe-haven assets, why are Treasuries selling off?

Instead of a traditional safe assets demand for bonds, the Treasury market prices in higher inflation expectations and stricter Fed policy path, driven by increased oil prices, which supports the bond sell-off.

Pressure on the debt market will likely persist as long as oil and inflation risks remain elevated.
Stock and Bond Returns Post Oil Shock

How does the market respond to an oil shock?

The crises of 1973, 1979, 1990, and 2022 reveal a pattern in the performance of S&P 500 and 10-year US Treasury yields when energy shocks hit.

On average, the equities drop by ~10% in the first 150 days, but typically recover fully by month 15. Bonds, meanwhile, historically see a yield rise of ~150 basis points within the first year due to the emerging inflation pressures.
Today’s cycle stands out on both fronts.

Equities entered the shock already stressed, while Treasury yields came in elevated, both diverging from the historical averages.

With current yields running above the historical average, markets suggest pricing in more inflationary pressure than in prior events.
S&P 500 Q1 2026 Performance

High-growth tech stocks hurt the most. The Mag 7 faced negative YTD returns.

The highest percentage YTD returns came from energy, materials, consumer staples, utilities, and AI infrastructure.

The outlier is SanDisk, an AI memory storage company - 160% up.

Is the dollar losing ground?

70.8% → 56.9%

That’s the drop in USD share of global reserves since 2001.

Central banks are diversifying into:
CNY • AUD • CAD • JPY • CHF

But:
USD still leads global trade, FX, and payments.

Shift ≠ collapse.

Oil’s Best Month since COVID-19

In March 2026, oil had its highest monthly increase since the pandemic. Brent surged 45.5%, as of March 23.

Historically, the worst downturns come from demand panics - 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic crash being the clearest examples.

The biggest upside spikes, by contrast, usually come from supply shocks.
In 1990, Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait triggered a major supply disruption and a 47% jump in Brent.

In 1998, coordinated OPEC production cuts, lifted Brent by 21%. Now, the Strait of Hormuz closure, handling roughly 20% of global oil supply, is driving the latest surge.

Every major crash since 1996 followed a similar pattern:

S&P500 hits a new high, the yield curve inverts and recovers, the Fed cuts rates, and the market falls.

Dot-com crash, 2008 Financial crisis, Pandemic.

In 2026, the Yield curve has exited a deep inversion, the Fed has been slowly cutting rates.
