    Yields hit 2002 highs and oil jumps as US rejects Iran peace proposal

    Question

    Yields hit 2002 highs and oil jumps as US rejects Iran peace proposal

    Direct answer

    A sharp escalation in Middle East geopolitical tension unfolded after the US administration rejected Iran's peace proposal. The decision introduced an immediate supply disruption premium into energy markets, causing crude prices to jump. The inflationary implications of higher energy inputs triggered rapid selling across the Treasury curve. Benchmark yields climbed to their highest levels since 2002, driving broad-based equity valuation compression led by technology and semiconductor names.
