Bonds Rally on Peace Deal Hopes
Bonds Rally on Peace Deal Hopes
The day ended as it began: with bond yields and oil prices dropping in unison based on hopeful headlines surrounding the Iran war. Perhaps the market was in the mood for a rally because the headlines weren't particularly specific or compelling. Oil prices are closer to the middle of their range for the month of August whereas 10yr yields are closer to the low end of the range. This could suggest a bit of a willingness to rally on the part of the bond market, but sustaining the rally would require continued cooperation from oil as well as econ data.
