Geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz are contributing to an inflation premium in financial markets. The 5-year, 5-year US inflation swap forward is currently near its May peak. This rise occurs despite a recent decline in headline inflation figures.

The inflation premium is also influenced by fiscal supply dynamics, which are testing investor demand for long-duration assets. Higher oil prices are a key factor in this trend. Traders on Hyperdash have taken

WTI Crude +0.00% higher and

Brent Crude +0.00% higher since the news.
