An Iranian official is pessimistic about reaching a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before the U.S. midterm elections, saying the conflict is likely to escalate after the elections. U.S.-Iran talks have made limited progress, and the two sides lack mutual trust, but constructive discussions are still taking place through mediators.
安聯集團 chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian said that even if the end of the U.S.-Iran war leads to lower oil prices, U.S. 10-year Treasury yields will remain near 5%, mainly because of structural supply-and-demand imbalances in the bond market. He stressed that yields will not return to 4% or 4.5%, and investors need to adapt to a high-interest-rate environment.
