Today on The Open Bell: Brent crude just jumped more than three dollars in a single session to clear $103 a barrel, and if you've ever wondered how fast a flare-up in the Strait of Hormuz turns into a higher number at the petrol pump, today's your case study. Chinese stock markets reopened this morning after a week-long National Day holiday and walked straight into a wall of news their traders had been locked out of, including US government borrowing costs at levels nobody's seen since 2002, which makes their first session back less a trading day and more a damage assessment. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury, basically the interest rate the government pays when it borrows, hit 5.35% on Tuesday, a 24-year high, and what sounds like an abstract number in a headline is in practice a direct line to what you pay on a new mortgage. If today's episode helped you get your head around any of that, a five-star rating takes about ten seconds and genuinely helps other people find the show.
