Global bond yields are jumping on the back of higher oil prices this morning after President Trump said he thinks the ceasefire with Iran is "over." European bonds saw some of the biggest moves, with benchmark 10-year bond yields in the U.

"Warsh explicitly avoided policy guidance in the statement and press conference, so it seems unlikely that he would permit such guidance via the minutes," writes Englander, head of G-10 foreign-exchange research at the bank. Englander's prediction chimes with the way that Warsh, who spent more than a decade arguing that the Fed should say less, has approached his new post so far.

Stocks were up to start Thursday’s session after the unemployment rate fell unexpectedly in June. The Dow rose 370 points, or 0.7%. The U.S. economy added fewer jobs than economists expected in June, but unemployment dipped to 4.2%.

Treasury yields and the dollar slide as the U.S. economy creates fewer jobs than expected in June. The BLS reports jobs growth at 57,000, lower than WSJ consensus of 115,000. May's figure is revised down to 129,000 from 172,000, and April's to 148,000 from 179,000.

Treasury yields rise, on path for a quarterly increase. An agreement to fully restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains elusive and oil prices edge higher. Fed funds futures price at least one Fed hike this year, according to CME.

Demand for U.S. government debt weakens and Treasury yields rise, as U.S. and Iran agree to halt fighting while negotiating a deal to fully restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices edge higher but remain around pre-war levels.

Treasury yields and the dollar ease as oil prices fall 3% and markets recalibrate the outlook for U.S. interest rates. Odds of one rate increase this year remain high, priced at 42% on CME's FedWatch tool, while odds of a second hike decline to 28% from 34% a week ago, as inflation forecasts cool down.

Bond yields dropped and stocks kept rising after the Federal Reserve’s benchmark inflation gauge matched expectations. The core personal expenditures price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices and is watched closely by the central bank, rose at a 0.

Treasury yields decline as U.S.-Iran peace talks continue and oil futures fall 3%. May U.S. new home sales, due at 10 a.m. ET, are expected to increase 1.6%, after contracting by 6.2% in April, according to a WSJ survey.

Treasury yields cool down a little while the dollar rises as U.S.-Iran talks inch forward. Crude prices slip, as the U.S. cleared the way for Iran to sell oil in dollars, including to U.S. buyers, as part of the negotiations to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Treasury yields and the dollar rise amid tense negotiations in the Middle East. Oil prices decline as mediators say U.S.-Iran talks will continue this week, following a rocky start. The long disruption in global oil supplies, however, keeps inflation fears elevated.

The loudest feedback on Kevin Warsh's first press conference as Fed chairman came from the bond market. Just look at the Treasury yield curve. U.S. debt maturing in 10-years now yields only 0.7663 percentage points more than debt maturing in 2 years.

Bonds are in the driver's seat as Kevin Warsh chairs his first Fed meeting. Look at the yield or interest rate on the 2-year note, which is up strongly by 0.097 percentage points. Higher yields on a shorter-dated note suggest the bond market is readying to see a rate hike by the Fed sometime this year.

The stock market was rising ahead of Kevin Warsh’s first Federal Open Market Committee meeting press conference. The Dow was up just 135 points, or 0.3%, after hitting another record on Tuesday. The Nasdaq was up 0.4%.

Treasury yields tick higher ahead of the first interest rate decision under Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh. Rates are expected to remain unchanged. Investors are curious about how Warsh will change the central bank's communications with the public and its forward guidance.

Demand for Treasuries picks up, sending yields lower, as details of the announced peace deal with Iran remain unclear and the first two-day Fed meeting with Warsh as chairman starts. Oil prices fall nearly 5% and the WSJ Dollar Index is flat.

Stocks were mixed at the open on Tuesday as Wall Street looked through lower oil prices and toward the start of the Federal Open Market Committee's June meeting. The Dow rose 315 points, or 0.6%. Any close higher would be a fresh record close for the Dow.

Treasury yields and the dollar slip as President Trump and Iran agree to sign a peace deal later this week while markets brace for the first Fed meeting under Chairman Warsh. The U.S.-Iran pact is expected to restore normal oil trade through the Strait of Hormuz.

News of a deal between Washington and Tehran that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz has prompted investors to pare back bets on higher rates this morning. The thinking: If oil starts flowing more freely, energy prices would likely fall, reducing inflationary pressure and giving the Fed less reason to increase rates. It's a reversal from just a week ago, when investors were still digesting news of a stronger-than-expected May jobs report.

Treasury yields and the dollar rise amid hotter-than-expected U.S. wholesale inflation and as President Trump renews military threats against Iran. May PPI was 1.1%, matching April's advance and beating WSJ consensus of 0.

The stock market’s slide continued on Wednesday after the latest inflation report failed to rouse Wall Street. The Dow fell 340 points, or 0.7%. The yield on the 2-year Treasury note was down to 4.12%.

Treasury yields and the dollar are little changed from Tuesday, as U.S. inflation meets expectations and the war in Iran flares up. The 12-month May CPI accelerates to 4.2% from 3.8% in April. Ex-energy and food, core inflation is a milder 2.

Stock futures were still trading lower after the consumer price index for May matched expectations. The headline CPI rose at a 4.2% annual rate, which was in line with the consensus among economists. The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose at a 2.9% annual rate, which was also in line with expectations.

Treasury yields slip amid signs of declining optimism among U.S. small-business owners. Tensions remain high in the Middle East, but oil prices fall around 2% and the WSJ Dollar Index is down 0.2%. The NFIB small-business optimism index falls 0.

Investors cautiously return to bond markets, sending Treasury yields slightly lower and softening some of the selloff triggered by Friday's stronger-than-expected jobs report. The dollar follows a similar path.

The inflation fears sparking Friday's selloff propelled the 2-year Treasury yield to its level since Feb. 2025. The 2-year note settled at 4.160%, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.537%. Investors dumped bonds after a hot jobs report rekindled the possibility of rate hikes this year.

The hot May jobs report added to the inflation concerns that have increasingly fueled Wall Street's bets that rate hikes may be more likely than cuts this year. Futures markets Friday suggested a roughly 58% likelihood of at least one rate hike by year's end, according to CME's FedWatch tool.

Stock futures kept falling after a hot jobs report sent bond yields higher. Dow futures were flat. S&P 500 futures were down 0.6%. Nasdaq 100 futures was down 1.3%. The U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs in May, which was well above expectations at 105,000 jobs.

Falling oil prices drive Treasury yields and the dollar lower. Crude slips 3% on hopes an Israel-Lebanon ceasefire could facilitate negotiations with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. WSJ reports President Trump wants to maintain a ceasefire with Iran unless American troops are killed, easing fears of escalation.

Treasuries sell off, sending yields higher, as the Middle East conflict escalates and the U.S. job market strengthens. ADP says private employers added 122,000 in May, beating WSJ consensus of 110,000, with broad-based hiring.
