The drop was triggered by escalating tensions between Iran and the US. ## Oil Prices Rise Brent crude prices surpassed $100 for the first time since early June. The Iran conflict caused volatility in global energy markets. ## Bond Yields Increase US 10-year bond yields reached their highest level in 18 months. This is linked to growing economic uncertainties. ## Fed Rate Decision Awaited Ahead of the Federal Reserve’s next rate hike decision, the probability of a 0.25% increase rose to 40%.
