Grade Abullish AI signal$BRENT$DXY
U.S. Treasury and European government bond yields declined as Brent crude prices plunged 4.5% on renewed U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts, easing inflation concerns and reducing expectations for further interest-rate hikes.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield slipped to 4.918%, while the U.K. 10-year gilt yield reached a nearly six-week low of 5.219% and German and French yields also declined.
Further progress toward ending the Iran conflict and sustained weakness in oil prices could ease inflation pressures, support government bonds and increase expectations of a less aggressive central-bank tightening path.
