US Treasury yields climbed amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. As of 10:32 p.m. Thailand time, the 10-year yield stood at 4.652 percent and the 30-year yield at 5.141 percent. BMO Capital Markets noted that markets remain relatively steady, as reports of a new ceasefire plan helped pressure oil prices. However, analysts warned that bonds could fluctuate with energy prices and developments in the US-Iran conflict. In the United Kingdom, the 10-year gilt yield rose after Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would use flexibility within the fiscal discipline framework.
