    Question

    Yields Hit 2002 Highs After Iran Deal Rejection Drives Oil Spike

    Direct answer

    Crude oil prices advanced sharply after Donald Trump publicly rejected Iran's proposed peace terms. The renewed geopolitical friction immediately translated into higher inflation risk premia across the Treasury curve. Benchmark US yields reached their highest levels since 2002. Higher long-term rates weighed on risk assets, pulling the Nasdaq down 1% during Monday trading.
