- The 10-year Treasury yield surged to its highest level since 2007, crossing the psychological 5% mark, intensifying pressure on the Fed to address persistent inflation.
- Oil prices for both international benchmark Brent crude and U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures remained above the triple-digit level per barrel due to renewed geopolitical tensions.
- The Federal Reserve faces a complex policy decision this week, with markets pricing in a near-certain 25 basis point hike and a high probability of another hike in December.
