Global markets have shifted toward pricing a broader and more persistent inflation impact, driven by ongoing uncertainty surrounding energy prices. According to analyst reports, long-term bond yields and inflation swaps remain elevated as concerns persist regarding potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. This shift in sentiment reflects a growing market focus on the long-term inflationary consequences of geopolitical instability and its impact on interest rate pricing.
