Oil climbs , bonds slide on Mideast hostilities
What it means
Mideast hostilities have historically been associated with an immediate spike in crude oil prices as markets price in supply-risk, while bonds can sell off if inflation fears from higher energy costs dominate over safe-haven flows. Gold tends to benefit from the uncertainty. These moves are most pronounced in the short term and may fade if the conflict does not escalate or disrupt actual supply flows.
