Inflation reignited by the US-Iran war energy shock, a Moody's credit downgrade of US sovereign debt, the transition to a new Federal Reserve chair, and rising fears of a rate hike rather than rate cuts have collectively hammered bond prices and driven 30-year yields to levels not seen since 2007. Technically, the market staged a meaningful false break below the 110 area (daily level 4) and buyers responded strongly, bidding prices back above the key 111-25 area (daily level 3), setting up a critical inflection point in the weeks ahead as the market looks for directional resolution.
