"Global Bond Yields Surge as Oil Prices Fuel Inflation Worries"
ENGlobal government bond yields jumped on Tuesday as rising oil prices reignited inflation worries, with UK gilts leading a selloff as traders played catch-up after a holiday closure. Wall Street had already closed lower on Monday, with major indexes still notching gains for the month even as yields climbed on growing bets that central banks will raise rates this month. The moves come as fresh hostilities around the Strait of Hormuz pushed crude prices higher, adding another leg to the inflation narrative that has dominated markets since late August.
ENEuro zone inflation rose above 3% in August, according to flash estimates, reinforcing market bets that the European Central Bank will raise interest rates at its next meeting. The reading adds euro zone central banks to the growing list of monetary authorities facing pressure to tighten policy as energy prices climb. Investors now see a rate hike as increasingly likely rather than merely possible.
