This shift could reflect evolving supply-demand dynamics or broader macroeconomic concerns influencing the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>The bond market saw significant volatility in <strong>Treasury futures<\/strong>, which led to a spike in long-end yields to session highs. This move, described as <em>flow-driven<\/em> rather than fundamentally triggered, later unwound as yields retreated from their peaks, highlighting the sensitivity of bond markets to trading activity.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, economic data from Russia indicated a slight moderation in consumer inflation.
