What happened
Global bond market volatility is being driven by conflicts in the Middle East and political uncertainty. Despite recent bad news, the 10-year yield held its ground at the 5.35% level last week, preventing further rate escalation in October. The bond market has been extremely volatile since the Memorandum of Understanding deal between Iran and the U.S. fell apart in July.
