War Bonds vs. War Stocks: How Treasuries Are Really Responding to the Iran Conflict

War Bonds vs. War Stocks: How Treasuries Are Really Responding to the Iran Conflict

About this episode

The episode discusses the unusual behavior of bond yields in response to the Iran conflict and its implications for investors.

Contrary to the traditional flight-to-safety playbook, bond yields are rising alongside oil prices as war-driven inflation fears overwhelm demand for U.S. Treasuries as a haven asset. We examine why this unusual bond market behavior matters for every investor who holds fixed income, and what it signals about the durability of the post-pandemic rate environment.
