Bonds Advance as Oil Slide Pushes 10-Year Yields Down 4 Basis Points

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 17

Summary

  • Australian and Japanese 10-year yields fell about 4 basis points, while comparable Treasuries edged lower near a one-month low ahead of the Federal Reserve decision.
  • Oil’s sharp recent slide eased fears of a fresh inflation shock, supporting bonds and lifting S&P 500 futures.
  • Asian stocks were little changed after a three-day rally, showing a more muted response than rates markets.
  • US risk sentiment remained fragile after Tuesday’s semiconductor pullback drove the Nasdaq 100 down almost 2%, even as lower oil prices improved the inflation backdrop.
