Oil-Driven Bond Selloff Spreads to Stocks, Emerging-Market Assets; Gold Drops 2%
Persistently higher oil prices widened the global bond selloff, as investors worried the energy shock would worsen inflation and keep interest rates elevated for longer. U.S. Treasuries fell with global peers, global shares dropped, gold slid 2% as rising yields and the dollar hurt its appeal, and emerging-market stocks and currencies retreated after two consecutive sessions of gains.
The pressure built on an earlier jump in U.S. yields that pushed the 30-year Treasury yield to 5.056%, a 10-month high, while the two-year later rose to 4.065% and the 10-year to 4.53%. In Japan, a spike in wholesale inflation tied to energy bolstered the case for a June rate hike and helped drive government bond yields higher across the curve, with the 30-year JGB later touching 4.00% and the 40-year reaching a record 4.235%.
