U.S. Treasury Yields Rise Amid Middle East Conflict and Rising Oil Prices

U.S. Treasury yields rose for a third and fourth consecutive day amid concerns that escalating conflict in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran and Israel, is driving up oil prices and raising inflation risks. The disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has contributed to elevated crude prices near multi-month highs. Investors are reassessing Federal Reserve rate expectations as inflation fears grow, with bond yields reaching levels not seen since mid-2025.
