German 10-year government bond yields have climbed to almost 3.1%, reaching a new high since May 21. Escalating tensions in the Middle East are driving up oil prices, intensifying inflation concerns and reinforcing market expectations of further tightening by the European Central Bank.
Brent crude jumped to its highest level in a month, as the US blocked Iranian shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and continued to take action against Iran. This has sparked market doubts about the stability of global energy supplies.
The European Central Bank is set to raise rates in June for the first time in three years. Market forecasts indicate further tightening, with two additional hikes expected before next spring. A rate hike in September has been fully priced in.
However, recent cautious comments from officials Cipollone and Kocher suggest there are no clear signs of second-round inflation effects at present, leading the market to largely rule out a rate hike in July.
