As President Trump predicts the end of the Iran war, market expectations of a cooling of the situation have led to a sharp drop in crude oil prices, and European government bond yields have fallen significantly, with the 10-year German bund yield hitting a low. The market is focused on whether communication between the warring parties will lead to a substantial de-escalation.

ME News reports that on April 1 (UTC+8), following President Trump’s statement that the war against Iran could end within two or three weeks, market expectations of a cooling of tensions led to a sharp drop in crude oil prices. Subsequently, UK and European government bond yields surged significantly, with yields falling across the board. The yields on French, Italian, and UK government bonds all declined by 10 basis points or more. Germany’s 10-year benchmark government bond yield decreased by 6 basis points to 2.94%, reaching the lowest level since March 18. In a report, strategists including Benjamin Schroeder of ING Bank noted that after signals of communication from both sides were received, the market is closely monitoring whether this will translate into a tangible path toward de-escalation. However, considering the damage already inflicted, how quickly energy supplies can fully recover remains an unresolved issue. (Jin Ten) (Source: ODAILY)
