US President Donald Trump rejected Tehran's proposal for a seven-day ceasefire intended to allow shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to resume. The move comes amid growing uncertainty in US-Iran relations.
The rejection of the proposed ceasefire coincided with a sharp rise in tension across financial markets. Global markets faced selling pressure, which is being linked to heightened geopolitical uncertainty between Washington and Tehran.
At the same time, yields on 10-year and 30-year US Treasury securities reached multi-year highs. The rise in government bond yields reflects the market's reaction to the current situation.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a key route for global shipping, and its functioning matters for the global economy. Details of the rejected proposal and the parties' next steps are not provided in the statement.
