This has led to a sharp rise in crude oil prices, which may affect inflation. The military action may last for four weeks, and in the short term, US Treasuries may remain volatile under the resonance of risk - aversion and rising inflation expectations. Higher - than - expected inflation data and the rise in energy prices triggered by geopolitical conflicts have further reduced the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in March [1][3]. - Driven by the significant decline in US Treasury yields, Chinese dollar - denominated bonds performed well last week, with the Bloomberg Barclays Chinese dollar - denominated bond total return index rising 0.4% for the week.
