what happened
US Treasuries sold off on Thursday after the Veterans Day holiday on Wednesday, extending Tuesday's losses. The 10-year note yield, which moves opposite to price, rose 12 basis points to 5.109%. According to TradingView, citing RTTNews, US crude futures climbed about 3%.
The oil move followed a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump, who said Washington had no need for a deal with Iran and held hundreds of billions of dollars of Iranian assets. Earlier he had called renewed attacks on Iran highly unlikely while talks continued to progress. Markets are worried about prolonged supply disruptions as the US maintains its blockade of Iranian ports and Operation Iron Gate.
In US data, initial jobless claims rose to 200,000 in the week ended November 7 from a revised 191,000, above the expected 195,000. Existing home sales fell more than forecast in October to their lowest level since August 2010.
why it matters
Higher long-dated Treasury yields raise borrowing costs and can weigh on equity valuations. Rising oil prices alongside a weak housing market add uncertainty to inflation and growth expectations.
