US Treasury yields rise with Middle East, rate hike bets in focus | Stock Market News
US Treasury yields hit multi-year highs on Monday, then eased slightly as oil prices pulled back on fresh hopes for Middle East peace talks. Traders now put the odds of another US Federal Reserve rate hike in October at about 68%, up from 64% on Friday. Rising US rates usually mean costlier foreign borrowing for Indian firms, so watch your exposure.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The 10-year US Treasury yield rose 4.88 basis points to 5.23% after touching 5.2741% earlier in the day.
- Traders raised the chance of a 25 basis point US Fed rate hike in October to about 68% from 64% on Friday, as per CME Group's FedWatch tool.
- Qatari mediators were likely to hold separate talks with Iran and the US on Monday or Tuesday in a fresh push to end the war.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business has foreign currency loans, imports, or dollar payments, check how a further rise in US rates could change your cost, and discuss your exposure with your CA before committing to fresh overseas borrowing.
