IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rose 2 basis points to around 4.35% on Thursday as investors monitored developments in the Middle East amid heightened uncertainty over efforts to end the Iran war. The White House maintained that talks are ongoing, with the Trump administration reportedly sending a 15-point plan to Iran via Pakistan aimed at resolving the conflict. Top Iranian authorities are reviewing the proposal but indicated no intention of holding talks with Washington. Tehran said it would reject a US ceasefire offer, instead countering with a five-point plan granting it control over the Strait of Hormuz. Disruptions from the conflict have pushed energy prices higher, fueling inflation concerns and reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates steady throughout the year. Investors now turn to the latest weekly jobless claims data on Thursday for fresh signals on labor market conditions.
