Slide in oil prices drives rebound in battered government bonds

Oil prices have fallen for five consecutive days, easing pressure on the bond market and driving a rebound in government bonds. This decline stems from easing supply concerns and trader bets on diplomacy with Iran. While Saudi Arabia has cut October crude flows to Europe, overall crude flows remain surprisingly strong. The retreat in oil prices and bond yields has also contributed to a modest rise on Wall Street.
