  "summary": "Global bond yields surged on Tuesday as tensions between the US and Iran reignited energy and inflation risks. According to CNBC, yields in Japan and the UK reached multi-decade highs.\n\nThe increase in bond yields was driven by renewed inflation expectations due to the US-Iran hostilities. The WSJ reported that this reinforced the prospect of interest-rate hikes in the coming months.\n\nMultiple sources noted the current state of flux in the global financial system. The National UAE and The National Business both highlighted the turmoil, with The National's geo-economics editor, Manus Cranny, providing insights into the key stories.",
