Donald Trump and Scott Bessent discussed the extension of a trade truce and the ongoing Iran war during recent high-level talks. Bessent confirmed that the economic detente, sparked by Trump's tariffs, would extend beyond its November 10 deadline to January 10. The talks also addressed the conflict in the Middle East, which is cited as a factor driving up global borrowing costs and concerns over mounting fiscal deficits. Meanwhile, U.S. 10-year Treasury yields climbed above 5% to around 5.11%, marking a significant point for the bond market.
