The selloff in the US bond market deepened on Monday after President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, dampening hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough to end the war. The decline pushed most Treasury yields higher by nearly 10 basis points by noon in New York, with those on 10-year bonds climbing to a fresh 19-year high. Meantime, Iranian officials have privately expressed pessimism about reaching a deal to end hostilities with Washington and reopen the Strait of Hormuz before US midterm elections in November.

On today's episode:
Patrick Murphy, former Acting Secretary of the Army & US Congressman
Bob Chapek, former Disney CEO
Rebecca Walser, Founder & CIO at Walser Wealth Management
Ed Ludlow, 'Bloomberg Tech' Host

In late January, the week before Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced a $1.6 billion government commitment to fund a US magnet maker, bankers at his former financial services company, now run by his sons, were busy earning fees raising $1.5 billion more for the company from private investors.

The parallel deals have been questioned by Democratic lawmakers alleging possible conflicts of interest involving Lutnick and his sons. But a more basic set of questions has dogged the project: Can USA Rare Earth Inc., the company getting these public and private funds, actually produce the critical minerals and magnets the government needs to break China’s chokehold on global supplies?

For a closer look, we speak with Joe Deaux, Bloomberg News Senior Reporter for Corporate & Economic Statecraft.
