About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of surging oil prices on the ASX and global markets, along with insights on the US Treasury Secretary's role amid rising tensions in the bond market.

Oil prices surged above US$107 a barrel overnight as escalating attacks on shipping fuelled fears of further supply disruptions, pushing bond yields higher and global share markets lower. The ASX is poised to extend yesterday’s losses with another sharp fall at the open. Plus, why all eyes are on the US Treasury Secretary as tensions build in the American bond market. Join James Gruber, Equity Market Strategist, and Gillian Bowen, Head of Media and Markets at CommSec, as they take you through all the key numbers.
