  "account": "Bond yields surged to their highest in decades on Tuesday, while oil prices climbed for a third straight day as the US-Iran truce concluded. The 30-year Treasury bond yield peaked at 5.321 percent, its highest level in nearly two decades. Analysts expressed disappointment, noting that no imminent resolution to the Iran conflict was forthcoming. Asian stocks retreated from early gains, with the Nikkei 225 dropping 1.6 percent. Oil prices rose 0.4 percent to $91.20 per barrel, extending the rally into its third day. Meanwhile, the US dollar strengthened modestly. Gold prices dipped slightly, and cryptocurrency prices declined.",
  "summary": "Bond yields climbed on Tuesday to their highest in decades, with oil prices rising for a third day, while stocks gave up early gains in Asian trade as a US-Iran truce expired and Tehran threatened to adopt a \"fully offensive\" military posture.",
