What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Renewed hostilities in the Middle East caused oil prices to rise by nearly 3% on Thursday. This geopolitical tension drove risk-off sentiment across markets, leading to major crypto prices falling more than 2%, with Bitcoin trading at $81,650. Simultaneously, money flowed into U.S. fixed-income, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield down 10.3 basis points to 5.046% and the 2-year yield down 9 basis points to 4.733%.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The surge in oil prices and the resulting flight to safety shifted capital away from risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies and equity futures, and into government bonds. This movement widened bond spreads in Europe while lowering yields on U.S. Treasuries.
