Bonds Turn Red Overnight on War Headlines
Bonds Turn Red Overnight on War Headlines
Bonds spent most of the overnight session moving sideways to slightly stronger, but everything changed at 6:20am. That's when news broke regarding a statement from Iran's Khamenei saying that Uranium should not leave the country. Given that this is a sticking point for peace negotiations, the response in bonds/oil/etc was immediate and clear. Yields rose from 4.575 to 4.62 and continue to trade near there ever since.
