US Treasury Yields Fall on Lower Oil Prices and Iran Peace Proposal

US Treasury yields declined during Asian trading on March 25, with oil prices experiencing a slight pullback. Officials stated that the United States has conveyed a 15-point plan to Iran through intermediaries, aimed at ending the war. These proposals largely center on previously outlined demands in exchange for the lifting of sanctions on Iran. "Markets have reacted with relief to the peace prospects, which remain uncertain so far," noted Elisabet Kopelman of SEB in a report. Yields on US Treasuries across all maturities fell, with short-term yields declining more than long-term yields. Following a weak performance in Tuesday's auction of two-year notes, the US Treasury's auction of $70 billion in five-year notes will be closely watched. According to Tradeweb, the yield on the two-year US Treasury note fell 4.7 basis points to 3.888%; the 10-year Treasury yield dropped 3.6 basis points to 4.354%; and the 30-year Treasury yield decreased 1.8 basis points to 4.922%.

  • Korean Central Bank Governor: Further Appreciation of Won Beneficial for Economy, Will Maintain Restrictive Policy

    On October 13, Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong stated that further appreciation of the won would be beneficial, noting that since the central bank shifted to tightening monetary policy, the significant appreciation of the won has enhanced household purchasing power. During a dialogue with Krishna, Director of the IMF Asia and Pacific Department, at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok on Tuesday, he mentioned that the Bank of Korea will maintain a restrictive monetary policy stance until it is confident that inflation can return to target levels in a timely manner. Rhee also indicated that the strengthening of the won shifts economic growth momentum more towards the domestic economy, helping to alleviate the development gap he referred to as the 'K-shaped economy.' Currently, inflation, exchange rates, and financial stability factors all point in the same policy direction, making the policy trade-offs faced by the Bank of Korea easier than usual.

  • Wintermute Perspective: Bitcoin Loses Support from Capital Inflows, Cautious Outlook on Altcoins

    On October 13, Wintermute stated that the Federal Reserve's minutes show that most officials expect another rate hike within the year, with a roughly 20% probability of a rate increase by the end of October. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds rose to 5.24%. The S&P 500 rose 1.2% last week to reach a new high, but the crypto market remains weak: U.S. stocks are supported by earnings expectations, while crypto relies more on incremental capital. After a reversal in capital flows, its six-week counter-trend rally is difficult to sustain. Bitcoin fell last week from $86,000 to $87,000, dropping to around $80,400 on Thursday before rebounding above $83,000. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of approximately $679 million last week, the largest single-week outflow since late June, while the Ethereum ETF experienced a net outflow of about $542 million. Wintermute noted that only when long-term yields stabilize and spot ETF funds see a return to net inflows will the outlook improve. Currently, the downside risk for Bitcoin is high, making it unwise to chase low-quality altcoins; if the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasuries breaks 5.64% or Bitcoin continues to struggle around $82,500, a cautious stance will be adopted.
