Australia’s 10-year government bond yield hovered around 4.9%, trading in a sideways range near multi-decade highs as markets remained on edge amid ongoing developments in the Middle East war. Oil prices continued to rise amid uncertainty over the fragile US–Iran–Israel ceasefire and its implications for energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire, which includes Iran’s commitment to reopen the key shipping lane, initially eased safe-haven demand and pressured yields lower, but sentiment has turned more cautious as reports indicate neither side has fully committed to the 10-point framework, leaving the truce vulnerable to setbacks. The conflict, now in its second month, has pushed energy prices higher and heightened inflation risks. The Reserve Bank of Australia has already raised rates by 50 basis points to 4.10% amid persistently elevated inflation, and markets are now pricing in further tightening in May, with policy rates seen reaching around 4.65% by year-end.

Australia 10Y Yield Eases to 1-Month Low
Australia’s 10-year government bond yield fell to below 4.9%, retreating from multi-year highs to hit a four-week low as inflation concerns eased after US President Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Less than two hours before a deadline for Iran to reach a deal or face intensified attacks, Trump announced a “double-sided ceasefire” linked to Iran’s agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He also said the US had received a 10-point Iranian proposal that provides a workable basis for negotiations, with the two-week window intended to finalize a broader settlement. The ceasefire could soften expectations for further tightening by the RBA, as easing oil prices may reduce near-term inflation pressure linked to earlier supply disruptions. Markets had been pricing a rate hike toward 4.35% or higher at the May meeting, partly due to elevated energy prices. Still, analysts warned that supply conditions could take months to fully normalize even if a lasting agreement is reached.
