The Middle East situation combined with the resilience of the US economy drives US Treasury yields and the US dollar higher.

⑴ Driven by renewed tensions in the Middle East and resilient US economic data, US Treasury yields and the US dollar have risen. DHF Capital CEO Bas Kooijman stated that the lack of progress in US-Iran negotiations, combined with a new round of military clashes in the region, continues to support safe-haven capital inflows.⑵Ongoing tensions are keeping energy prices elevated, sustaining concerns that inflationary pressures could last longer than previously anticipated. Data shows the 10-year US Treasury yield rose by 3 basis points to 4.483%, and the US dollar index increased by 0.1% to 99.342.
