Government bonds decline amid inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions
Bond markets globally experienced a sell-off on Monday as investors grew concerned about inflation. Reuters attributes the decline partly to rising energy prices stemming from the Iran war, while Financial Times frames it primarily around inflation fears without specifying geopolitical drivers. Both outlets note investor expectations of potential central bank rate hikes.
