Oil Prices Rise Amid Gulf Conflict, Inflation Concerns Impact Bonds Ahead of Tech Earnings
Rising tensions in the Gulf have pushed oil prices above $90 a barrel, with Brent crude reaching this level for the first time in over a month amid ongoing U.S. military actions against Iran. European gas prices also climbed, raising inflation concerns despite recent lower U.S. consumer price data. These developments have driven U.S. Treasury yields higher, with markets pricing in a potential Federal Reserve rate hike by year-end. Investors remain cautious ahead of major technology companies' earnings, particularly in the artificial intelligence sector.
