Wholesale Inflation Rises to 5.4% as Oil Tops $100 and 10Y Yield Hits 4.91%
Question
Wholesale Inflation Rises to 5.4% as Oil Tops $100 and 10Y Yield Hits 4.91%
Direct answer
A combination of U.S.-Iran geopolitical friction pushing crude oil past $100 per barrel and an acceleration in wholesale inflation to 5.4% YoY has prompted a broad repricing across the U.S. rates curve. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.912%, while the 30-year yield touched 5.344%. Equity markets reacted with broad declines across major indexes, led lower by rate-sensitive technology and semiconductor components, as market participants raised odds of an imminent Federal Reserve policy tightening to 70%. — bearish pressure on NVDA.
