Iran Tension Lifts Oil for Fifth Straight Day: Brent Above $105

Brent crude oil rose for a fifth consecutive trading session, climbing above $105 per barrel, as the stalemate in negotiations between Washington and Tehran to end the eight-week conflict persisted. This once again highlighted the pressure of geopolitical risks on commodity prices. As the dollar index headed for its first weekly gain this month, US Treasury bonds saw a limited easing. The 10-year bond yield fell one basis point to 4.32%. Markets continue to closely monitor both geopolitical developments and macroeconomic data. While geopolitical risks cause volatility in markets, a strong picture emerges on the corporate profitability front. According to Bloomberg data, approximately 80% of companies in the US stock index managed to exceed first-quarter earnings expectations. This indicates that investors maintain confidence in corporate fundamentals despite geopolitical uncertainties. This is not investment advice.
