Global Bond Selloff Deepens as Oil Climbs Toward Triple Digits; Stock Futures Point Lower Before US Open
Hyperdash NewsMacroUS stock futures pointed lower ahead of Friday's cash open as a deepening global bond selloff and rising oil unsettled risk appetite. S&P Futures edged down -0.55% and Nasdaq Futures fell -0.94%, with reports on Russia's nuclear doctrine adding to the caution.
Scoreboard
- S&P Futures 7,729.75 (-0.55%)
- Euro Stoxx 50 6,288 (-0.19%)
- Nikkei 225 65,514 (+0.76%)
- Gold 4,295 (-0.54%)
- WTI 93.08 (+1.00%)
- US 10Y 5.125% (+1bp)
- DXY 101.2390 (+0.14%)
- Bitcoin 83,369 (-2.89%)
- VIX 16.05 (+5.73%)
- DE 10Y 3.567% (-1bp)
The move traced to two drivers. Oil advanced as reports of progress in US-Iran talks gave way to renewed supply concern, lifting WTI +1.00% to 93.08 and Brent +1.39% to 104.51. That fed the bond selloff, pushing the US 10Y to 5.125% as the 30-year Treasury yield touched its highest since 2004. New York Fed President John Williams called another rate hike this year reasonable. Reports on Russia's nuclear doctrine weighed on futures and stirred haven flows. The VIX jumped +5.73% to 16.05. In Asia, the Nikkei 225 rose +0.76% to 65,514, the one major index to gain.

The takeaway
The long-end selloff is doing the work of a rate hike without one. With the 30-year Treasury yield at levels last seen in 2004 and oil climbing toward triple digits, financial conditions are tightening through the bond market even as the Fed debates whether one more move is needed.
Traders watch for the US cash open and any follow-through in Treasury yields after the 30-year hit a multi-decade high. Oil's reaction to US-Iran talks and further reports on Russia's nuclear doctrine remain in focus. Fedspeak after Williams and the path of the DXY, up +0.14% to 101.2390, round out the session's catalysts.
