Despite the increase in oil prices, U.S. Treasury yields fell during the Asian trading session. According to Odaily, bond investors are shifting their focus from inflation fears due to the Middle East conflict to concerns about economic growth. Elmar Voelker, a senior fixed income analyst at Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, noted in a report that disruptions in the energy sector could have lasting effects and potentially impact other areas of the economy. The bank anticipates that economies on both sides of the Atlantic will experience a growth loss of approximately 0.25 percentage points this year compared to previous forecasts. Tradeweb data indicates that the yield on two-year U.S. Treasuries fell by 3.9 basis points to 3.875%, while the ten-year yield decreased by 5.2 basis points to 4.387%.
