IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe US 10-Year Treasury Yield held below 4.45% on Friday after declining in the prior session, as easing oil prices and a fresh round of economic data prompted investors to reassess interest rate expectations. Crude oil retreated on what appeared to be a technical pullback, though it remains on track for a second consecutive weekly gain amid fading hopes for a US–Iran peace deal and expectations that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed in the near term. Treasury yields have been trending higher since the onset of the Middle East conflict, driven by concerns that elevated energy prices could reignite inflation and force major central banks to keep rates higher for longer or potentially tighten further. On the economic front, recent data showed US consumption slowed in the first quarter, although strong artificial intelligence-related investment helped sustain a 2% annualized GDP expansion.
