But as the US-Iran conflict continues to extend for longer, the pressure continues to mount on oil prices and the global inflation outlook. And through all the noise, we&#8217;re starting to see a potential for a fresh cycle high in Treasury yields this week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">10-year yields are looking to shake off the 4.70% mark to move higher while 30-year yields are clipping back 5.30% to its highest since 2007. Those are not levels to scoff at.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">Adam makes a good argument <a href=\"https:\/\/investinglive.com\/forex\/us-30-year-yields-rise-to-the-highest-since-2007\/\" rel=\"follow\">here<\/a> on how it may impact the stock market through safe money gains essentially. But the short-term and more immediate impact is on borrowing costs, so that&#8217;s another key factor to be mindful of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">But whichever way you look at it, there&#8217;s definitely negative reverberations for equities and the broader risk mood. So, that is something to consider if yields continue to push up further this week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">At the same time, it&#8217;s also another supportive factor for the dollar and one that could invite a push in USD\/JPY towards 160 again. In turn, that will open up a whole can of worms if Japan decides to intervene in the market again. So, just be wary of that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you only got eyes on one asset class this week, there is a good argument that the bond market is one to pay the most attention to.
