Consumers appear to be increasingly dissatisfied with the services provided by fuel stations, which reflects a trend of increasing complaints in this segment.

Renewing Middle East tensions leads sovereign bond yields to new highs

The renewal of hostilities between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz is causing a wave of rises in sovereign bond yields worldwide, with yields reaching multi-year highs in countries such as Japan (3% at ten years, 30-year highs), United Kingdom (ten-year gilts at 5.258%, highest level since 2008), USA (ten-year Treasuries at 4.798%, 20-month highs), Germany (ten-year bunds at 3.369%, one-year high) and Portugal (20-year bonds at 4.269%, near decade highs). Markets fear greater inflationary pressure and new increases in key interest rates, with inflation in the eurozone touching 3.3%. Simultaneously, the ECB warned about the systemic risks created by the massive financing of North American hyperscalers, which already represent almost 10% of all euro-denominated debt issued by non-financial entities.
