🇺🇸 US BOND YIELDS: The US 10-Year Treasury yield has climbed to around 5%, recently touching 5.04%—its highest level since July 2007. The sharp rise in bond yields reflects concerns over inflation, interest rates and the US government’s borrowing requirements. Higher yields increase borrowing costs for companies, reduce the attractiveness of equities compared with bonds and may put pressure on global stock-market valuations. Investors are closely watching whether the yield sustains above the 5% mark, as any further rise could increase volatility across equity and emerging markets.
🛢️ CRUDE OIL: Brent crude settled around $103.87/barrel, while WTI traded near $100.30. Ongoing Middle-East supply disruptions remain a key risk for global inflation and energy prices.
