Overview
- Markets reacted sharply after President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran over, lifting the 10-year Treasury by about five to six basis points to roughly 4.58% and pushing the 2-year yield toward 4.22%.
- Long-dated yields also rose, with the 30-year Treasury climbing above the 5% mark to about 5.08%, a move linked by traders to heightened geopolitical risk.
- Global oil benchmarks jumped, with Brent near or above $78–80 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate rising toward the mid-$70s, a change that raises headline inflation prospects.
- Investors flagged that higher oil and yields increase the chance the Fed will tighten policy, and market participants were parsing the June FOMC minutes and the weekly mortgage-rate report for guidance on the central bank’s next steps.
- Some analysts expect yield pressure to ease later in the year if higher energy costs do not cause broad second-round inflation, but consumers face near-term costs through higher mortgage rates and loan pricing.
