Bond Markets Set to Open in Cautiously Optimistic Mood -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/09/23 05:510551 GMT - Bond markets could open in a reasonably good mood in Europe amid the prospect of diplomatic progress between the U.S. and Iran. This, along with Saudi Arabia moving to restart its East-West pipeline, has helped oil prices fall and reduce the upward pressure on bond yields. "Geopolitics remains center stage for markets," Jefferies' Mohit Kumar says in a note. "There is increased optimism that the U.S. and Iran may be moving towards some form of an agreement," the global economist says. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
