Der Bondmarkt-Rückgang vertieft sich, da Inflationsängste weiter zunehmen
Guten Morgen, und willkommen zu unserer laufenden Berichterstattung über Wirtschaft, Finanzmärkte und die Weltwirtschaft.
Der Bondmarkt erfüllt seine traditionelle Rolle, Regierungen – und Anleger – zu beunruhigen, da Ängste vor einem Inflationsschock aus dem Iran-Krieg wachsen.
Der Bondverkauf, der letzte Woche die Märkte ergriff, geht heute Morgen weiter, was die Kreditkosten der Regierungen von Tokio bis Washington DC erhöht.
Mit dem Hormuz-Strait weiterhin größtenteils geschlossen, wächst die Perspektive einer langen Periode von Öl- und Gasengpässen, die die Kosten für Energie, Transport und Lebensmittel erhöhen würden.
Letzten Freitag stiegen die globalen Kreditkosten der Regierungen – mit dem Zinssatz auf Japans 30-jährigen Anleihe erstmals auf 4%.
US- und eurozone-debt litten ebenfalls, da Händler wetten, dass Zentralbanken gezwungen sein werden, Zinssätze zu erhöhen, oder Hoffnungen auf Zinssenkungen aufgeben, um die inflationären Wellen zu stoppen, die die globale Wirtschaft treffen.
Wie Analysten bei ING sagen:
Zuerst, selbst wenn der Krieg morgen enden würde, könnten die Ölpreise nicht so stark fallen, wie viele erwarten. Signifikante Rückgänge in Ölbeständen sind wahrscheinlich, um den steigenden Druck auf Preise für eine gewisse Zeit aufrechtzuerhalten.
Zweitens, die aktuellen Gaspreise scheinen zu niedrig zu sein. Es besteht ein bedeutender Aufwärtstrend, wenn Störungen bis in das dritte Quartal andauern, insbesondere da der Wettbewerb zwischen asiatischen und europäischen Käufern für LNG zunimmt.
Es ist eine Erinnerung daran, dass trotz all der politischen Diskussionen die Energiepreise weiterhin die dominierende Kraft für Zentralbanken bleiben. Es ist der Grund, warum wir Erwartungen von Zinserhöhungen von der Bank of England und der Europäischen Zentralbank im Juni haben, und warum wir nicht mehr erwarten, dass die Federal Reserve bis Dezember Zinssenkungen vornimmt.
Dieser Morgen... US- und japanische Regierungsanleihen haben ihre Verluste verlängert, was die Renditen (die steigen, wenn Anleihepreise fallen) erhöht.
Die Benchmark 10-jährigen US-Treasury-Renditen stiegen auf ihr höchstes Niveau seit Februar 2025 dieses Morgen auf 4,6310%.
Die Renditen auf die 30-jährigen japanischen Regierungsanleihen erreichten das höchste Niveau je bei 4,200%, während die 10-jährige Rendite ihr höchstes Niveau seit Oktober 1996 bei 2,800% erreichte.

Vier führende AI-Modelle diskutieren diesen Artikel
"Sustained oil above $110 plus LNG upside will drive energy outperformance even as broad yields rise."
Bond yields spiking to multi-year highs (US 10y at 4.631%, 30y JGB at 4.2%) alongside Brent at $111 signal persistent energy-driven inflation that central banks cannot ignore. ING’s points on inventory drawdowns and LNG competition into Q3 are underappreciated; these keep upward pressure on costs even if Hormuz reopens soon. Equity markets face valuation compression in growth stocks while energy names like BP and Shell already show defensive rotation. China’s April data collapse (factory output +4.1%, retail +0.2%) adds demand-destruction risk that could cap oil rallies but also forces fiscal responses in Japan and Europe. The dominant force remains energy prices overriding political noise for rate paths into December.
A swift diplomatic de-escalation or surprise OPEC+ release could reverse oil above $100 within weeks, erasing the inventory pressure ING cites and allowing yields to retrace before June hikes materialize.
"The market is pricing a 6-12 month energy crisis and fiscal blowout as permanent, when both are likely transient shocks that resolve within Q3, leaving investors who bought 30-year yields at 4.2% severely underwater."
The article conflates two separate shocks—geopolitical oil disruption and Chinese demand collapse—and assumes they compound. But the China data (factory output 4.1%, retail sales 0.2%) is April, pre-conflict. More importantly, the article treats 30-year yield moves as univocal signals of 'higher-for-longer,' ignoring that 30-year bonds are illiquid and prone to technical dislocations. Japan's 30-year at 4.2% is historically extreme but reflects BoJ policy normalization, not inflation expectations. The real risk: if Hormuz reopens within weeks and Chinese stimulus kicks in, the 'stagflation' narrative collapses and yields compress sharply, catching long-duration shorts.
If the Strait of Hormuz reopens within 4-6 weeks and OPEC+ manages supply, oil falls back to $85-90, collapsing the inflation thesis and triggering a 100-150bp yield compression—the opposite of what this article predicts.
"The bond market is overreacting to energy-driven inflation while failing to price in the imminent, severe deceleration of global growth signaled by China's April data."
The market is currently pricing in a 'stagflationary shock' with a knee-jerk rotation out of duration, but the narrative ignores the deflationary impulse of a stalling Chinese economy. While oil at $111/bbl is undeniably inflationary, the 0.2% retail sales growth in China suggests global demand destruction is already underway. If the G7 meeting in Paris results in coordinated fiscal restraint or energy supply intervention, the 4.63% 10-year Treasury yield may represent a local peak. I am skeptical of the 'higher-for-longer' consensus; if the Fed holds steady while growth craters, the real risk is a policy error that forces a rapid pivot to easing by Q4, potentially creating a massive bull trap in bonds right now.
If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the supply-side shock to energy will be so severe that central banks will have no choice but to hike into a recession, rendering any demand-side deflationary arguments moot.
"Yields have priced in a 'higher-for-longer' regime, but a peak in inflation and a policy pivot could trigger a meaningful rally in long-duration bonds."
The article frames a durable inflation shock from the Iran war as driving a broad bond rout. My take: much of this move may be compression of risk premia and liquidity stress rather than a structural, persistent shift in inflation or growth. The missing piece is how core inflation, services, and wage dynamics evolve once energy-price volatility moderates. If oil stabilizes or LNG re-routing eases supply disruptions, headline inflation could peak and allow central banks to pause or slow hikes. A growth slowdown—especially in China—could further damp demand, easing pricing pressure. Fiscal responses (e.g., Japan) show policymakers will try to cushion shocks, limiting downside for bonds in a worst-case scenario.
But if oil stays stubbornly high and inflation proves stickier than expected, hawkish policy paths stay in place, and longer-dated yields could push higher, making any bond rally a temporary pullback rather than a real reversal.
"Supply constraints and China's weakness together sustain stagflation, keeping yields elevated and preventing Q4 easing."
Gemini underestimates how persistent supply constraints from Hormuz and LNG rerouting interact with China's weak retail sales. Even as demand destruction looms, the resulting stagflationary mix could prevent the Fed from pivoting to easing by Q4. This setup risks a steeper yield curve rather than the compression Gemini anticipates, especially if fiscal cushions in Japan fail to offset energy cost pass-through into core inflation.
"Supply shocks + demand destruction = deflation, not stagflation—and the oil premium is the only thing holding yields up."
Grok conflates two independent variables. Hormuz closure + weak China demand don't automatically create stagflation; they create *deflation with supply shock*. If LNG rerouting succeeds and Hormuz reopens within 6 weeks, oil crashes to $85–90, collapsing the inflation thesis entirely. The steeper curve Grok predicts assumes oil stays elevated *and* demand persists—unlikely given April retail at 0.2%. The real risk is yields compress faster than anyone here expects once the geopolitical premium evaporates.
"Energy volatility has institutionalized inflation expectations, preventing the rapid yield compression Claude anticipates even if oil prices revert."
Claude, your 'deflation with supply shock' theory ignores the fiscal reality. Even if oil drops to $85, the energy-intensity of current supply chains ensures that the 'geopolitical premium' is already embedded in core CPI via sticky service costs. Central banks are no longer reacting to spot oil prices but to the volatility itself. A rapid yield compression is a pipe dream; the bond market is pricing in structural fiscal dominance, not just a temporary supply-side glitch.
"Core inflation stickiness will prevent rapid yield compression even if oil prices fall, keeping long-duration bonds vulnerable."
Claude's 'deflation with supply shock' assumes a rapid unwind of energy risk and immediate price relief; however, sticky core inflation and wage growth, plus shelter costs, can keep yields elevated even after oil stabilizes. The risk is not a fast compression but a delayed, uneven one as central banks wait for clearer demand signals while fiscal and energy-price volatility distort risk premia. That path hurts long-duration bonds more than equities.
Panel consensus is bearish, with key risks being persistent inflation and stagflation, and the potential for a steeper yield curve. Key opportunity is a rapid yield compression if energy prices stabilize and demand destruction occurs.
