Analysis

Oil Crashes 5.6% as Demand Fears Override Supply Narrative

Crude fell to $96.19, a -5.6% single-session move that is outsized by any recent standard. This is disinflationary at the margin and is likely the primary catalyst behind the 10Y yield dropping 6bps to 4.95% while equities ripped higher. The 99bps 2s10s steepening (3.96% vs 4.95%) suggests the market is pricing near-term cuts but remains nervous about fiscal supply or re-acceleration risk at the long end. For portfolios, this backdrop favors duration-sensitive growth and crypto over energy and real assets.
