Minimal Change After Overnight Volatility
Minimal Change After Overnight Volatility
War headlines struck back in the overnight session. Specifically, Iran struck back against various U.S. and allied sites, allegedly in response to U.S. strikes on Iranian sites. Peace prospects take an obvious hit in response to these escalations and financial markets remain willing to react accordingly. Oil prices were already moving up to the highest levels in more than a week in the overnight session and that momentum peaked at 6am ET. Treasury yields followed and then stayed broadly sideways for the duration of the domestic session. In the bigger picture, 10s are well within the 4.43-4.51 range that dominated last week. War headline sensitivity continues accounting for 90% of forward-looking volatility risk while econ data rounds out the rest.
