IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe yield on the US 10-year Treasury note climbed to around 4.39% on Monday, reversing the previous session’s decline as ongoing US-Iran tensions kept inflation risks in focus. President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s response to his peace proposal as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” with negotiations stalled over how to end the 10-week conflict. Reports indicated that Tehran had offered to transfer part of its highly enriched uranium stockpile to a third country, while refusing to dismantle its nuclear facilities. On the economic front, data released Friday showed US nonfarm payrolls increased by 115,000 in April, well above expectations for a 62,000 gain, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged this year. Investors are now awaiting April US inflation data for further clues on how higher oil prices are feeding through to broader price pressures in the economy.
