Stocks Drop, Oil Surges as Israel Attacks Iran

View descriptionShare

Stocks fell along with equity-index futures and investors rushed to the safety of havens such as Treasuries after Israel attacked Iran's nuclear program sites. Crude oil jumped more than 9% while gold also rose. We get the latest on what's moving markets from Mary Nicola, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore.

Plus - Treasuries rallied across the curve on Thursday, bringing the 10-year yield six basis points lower to around 4.36%. The gains were supported by the second US inflation print in as many days that came in below consensus forecasts, backing the argument for Fed cuts. The dollar hit a three-year low. The producer price index rose 0.1% from a month earlier, compared with the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists that called for a 0.2% increase. A solid sale of long-term US government debt added further impetus for the rally, reducing fears that spiraling deficits are causing investors to shun the bonds. We talk inflation and trade with Natalia Gurushina, Chief Economist for EM Fixed Income Strategy at VanEck.
