  "summary": "European bond yields have reached multi-year highs due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which is threatening to keep energy prices and inflation elevated. The conflict has further deteriorated the outlook for crude supplies, with Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacking Saudi energy targets and advancing towards the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This has led to government borrowing costs rising rapidly in Europe, with the European Central Bank raising interest rates and warning that inflation could remain high for an extended period. As a result, investors are bracing for further rate hikes, which could make borrowing more expensive.",
