The two-year U.S. Treasury yield rose by 4 basis points to 3.83%, while the five-year yield increased by 3 basis points to 3.91%. Due to the surge in oil prices, market participants have lowered their expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve this year. Before the outbreak of the Iran war, swap traders priced in expectations that the Fed would cut rates by 61 basis points; however, this expectation has now dropped to just 3 basis points. James Riley, a senior market economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a report: "The inflation situation is becoming increasingly tricky for the Fed, and a rate cut is unlikely in the short term." ![国债 1.png](https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.zhitongcaijing.com/image/20260320/1774001850271572.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg) Affected by the situation in the Middle East, the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of England all kept interest rates unchanged this week, as policymakers are dealing with an uncertain economic outlook. However, officials have signaled to the market that they are prepared to take action to curb inflationary pressures if necessary. Joachim Nagel, a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council, stated on Friday that if the Iran war leads to further price pressures, the ECB may need to consider raising interest rates as early as next month. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned on Thursday that in the face of the potentially more lasting impact of energy shocks on prices, policy "must respond." ### Related Stocks - [Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.DJI.US.md) - [NASDAQ Composite Index (.IXIC.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.IXIC.US.md) - [S&P 500 (.SPX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [Dow Jones Utility Average (.DJU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.DJU.US.md) - [NASDAQ-100 (.NDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.NDX.US.md) - [Nasdaq, Inc.
