Global bonds have seen their longest continuous rise since the outbreak of the war, and oil prices are stabilizing, easing inflation concerns.

Boosted by the slowdown in oil price fluctuations, the global bond market continued to rebound this week, reclaiming significant lost ground since the US air strike on Iran. In European and American markets, sovereign bonds are expected to rise for the third consecutive trading day, marking the longest uptrend since last year. In Asian markets, Japanese government bonds surged on Wednesday, while Australian government bonds saw their first consecutive two-day increase since the outbreak of war last month. Previously, soaring oil prices sparked concerns about inflation, leading to bond market sell-offs. However, this week, Brent crude oil futures prices have remained stable, trading narrowly around $102 per barrel, allowing traders to take advantage of attractive bond yields without worrying about rapid market reversals.
