BONDS
The uptick in crude oil futures will be an incremental source of pressure for core global FI markets. The move in crude has been relatively gradual, with both WTI & Brent up nearly $1 last.
- A 2% uptick in benchmark TTF natural gas prices also seen.
- Both 2-Year EUR ZCS and 5y5y inflation-linked swaps are 2bp+ higher on the day.
- Middle Eastern tensions remain front and centre, with Iran issuing warnings against Israeli attacks on its nuclear facilities.
- This comes after the Hezbollah drone attack on Israeli leader Netanyahu’s home.
