Yields on U.S. Treasuries advanced broadly by 12-15 bps last Friday (20th), as the market increasingly worried that prolonged Mideast war may prop up global inflation, Bloomberg reported. Bond traders raised the expectation of a Federal Reserve rate hike before October to 50%.

Furthermore, there is no longer an expectation for the Fed to cut rates this year. Ahead of the U.S.-Iran conflict on February 28, the market had anticipated the Fed would cut rates twice this year, each by 25 bps.
