Australia’s 10-year government bond yield edged higher around 4.9%, after falling from a two-week high, as investors weighed policy signals ahead of the RBA meeting next week, while renewed Middle East tensions stoked inflation concerns. The conflict intensified after the US launched fresh strikes on Iran, with President Trump accusing Tehran of downing a helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz, casting doubt on an already fragile ceasefire. The escalation drove energy prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and increasing the risk of further central bank rate hikes. In Australia, attention will be on the Reserve Bank's upcoming policy decision next week, where rates are widely expected to remain unchanged. Governor Bullock reiterated last week that the RBA remains firmly focused on bringing inflation down, following three rate hikes earlier this year. Meanwhile, economists have scaled back expectations for an August move and now see the cash rate peaking at 4.35% at year-end.

Australia 10Y Yield Stays at 2-Week High
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield held above 4.9%, trading near a two-week high as markets weighed easing Middle East tensions while persistent cost-of-living pressures weighed on domestic sentiment. Household confidence deteriorated further into deep pessimism, with the Westpac–Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index falling about 3% to 80.6 in June, marking the fourth decline this year and among the weakest in decades. Elevated living costs remain a key drag on household finances, while a temporary fuel tax cut provided only limited and short-lived support. Attention is now focused on the upcoming policy decision from the Reserve Bank of Australia next week, with markets broadly expecting rates to be left unchanged. Meanwhile, global risk sentiment got a minor lift after Iran and Israel announced a halt in fighting. However, a peace deal has yet to be reached and the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, keeping global inflation risks in focus.

Australia 10Y Yield Rises Over 2-Week High
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield rose above 4.9%, reaching more than a two-week high as rising Middle East tensions and a fragile US-Iran peace deal fueled inflation concerns. Iran launched multiple missile waves toward Israel over the weekend as a warning against further military actions in Lebanon, casting doubt on a fragile ceasefire as peace talks remain stalled. The prolonged conflict and the continued near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted energy supplies from the Persian Gulf, pushing oil prices higher and intensifying global inflation concerns. In Australia, RBA Governor Michele Bullock reiterated last week that the central bank remains firmly focused on bringing inflation down, following three rate hikes earlier this year that lifted the cash rate to 4.35%. She also noted that inflation remains too elevated, stressing that the board will take whatever measures it deems necessary to fulfill its mandate of achieving price stability and full employment.
