- From London to New York and Tokyo, the bond market is flashing red as the price of oil spikes higher.
Traders fear the ongoing oil supply squeeze will push up inflation and interest rates, and slow economic growth.
Fixed-income specialist at Macquarie University, Tano Pelosi says the global economy is facing its third supply shock in as many years. He says there is a possible scenario where inflation spikes in the near term, but ultimately it becomes quite constricting on the economy.
"So financial conditions tighten and therefore you end up in a classic stagflation scenario," he says.
However, he says bond markets aren't pricing that in yet.
He says Japan is front and centre in his mind at the moment, because its fiscal position is unsustainable and putting a lot of pressure on the Yen.

- Description
- The war in the Middle East has threatened one-third of the global helium supply after Iranian missile strikes hit Qatar's Ras Laffan gas plant in March. Spot prices have doubled since then and long-term contract rates have also been trending upwards. Arup George from UNSW says the gas is in high demand because it's used in the manufacture of microchips and semiconductors. Consequently, it was essential for the expansion of data centres and artificial intelligence. It is also critical to cool superconducting magnets in MRI machines.
Helium is the second-lightest gas in the world, and this low weight means when it is extracted from underground, it floats up into the atmosphere, never to be recovered, making it a finite resource. It can be mined as a by-product of liquid natural gas (LNG) extraction, and experts say there is potential for Australia to export it. Eric May from the Future Energy Export Cooperative Research Centre says helium is likely to be present in commer...

- A drone has hit the UAE's electricity generator near the Barakah nuclear power plant, while two others were intercepted by Emirati air defences.
The origin of the strikes remains unclear as the drones came from the country’s western border with Saudi Arabia.
There is increased speculation that the US and Israel might resume their bombing campaign against Iran, after US President Donald Trump appeared not to pressure Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping during his China visit to broker a peace deal with Tehran.
