Stocks edged up and currencies were subdued on Wednesday ahead of Kevin Warsh's debut as Federal Reserve chair, while oil prices remained near three-month lows, easing inflation pressure and pushing bond yields lower. Brent crude fell as far as $77.75 a barrel, down more than a third from April peaks, before recovering to $79.29. The prospect of extra supply from a potential U.S.-Iran deal added to optimism that has pushed U.S. Treasury yields lower this week, with 10-year yields edging up 1.7 basis points to 4.44% but remaining about 22 basis points below their May peak. Cooling inflation expectations lifted euro zone government bonds for a fifth day, driving 10-year German yields to their lowest since early April, while British yields fell sharply after May inflation unexpectedly held at a 13-month low of 2.8%. The pan-European STOXX 600 rose 0.3%, staying close to Monday's record, and Wall Street futures pointed to a bounce in tech stocks after heavy losses among U.S. chipmakers, with Broadcom, Micron, AMD and Intel rising between 1.5% and 3.5% in premarket trading.
