Asian Bonds Are More Sensitive to Treasury Rallies Than Routs
Emerging Asian bonds tend to be supported by rallies in Treasuries, and are less vulnerable to their losses, based on a Bloomberg analysis.
The study, which examines seven Asian nations and six recent highs and lows in US yields, suggests bond investors may wish to hold onto their positions when Treasury yields rise, and add to their portfolios when they decline.

G-7 Leaders Fail to Convince Trump to Toughen Russia Stance
(Bloomberg) -- A discussion among Group of Seven leaders over dinner on Monday did little to move US President Donald Trump toward tougher sanctions on Russia, according to people familiar with the matter. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown Trump has been urging Vladimir Putin to agree to a cease-fire in the war in Ukraine, but he has resisted new sanctions on Russia, despite threatening to impose them on multiple occasions. At the summit in western Canada, he frustrated allies further, saying sanctions cost the US a lot of money — and repeated many of those objections over dinner, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Still, a chair's statement to be issued by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to say that the G-7 backs US-led peace efforts, that Ukraine has shown it's ready for a cease-fire while Russia isn't, and that Kyiv's allies need to continue applying pressure on Moscow through sanctions. A spokesperson for Carney didn't provide comment on the contents of the statement. Despite the lack of a firm commitment from Trump, some G-7 leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, remained optimistic the US president would decide to impose restrictions on Moscow. The European Union proposed an 18th package of sanctions on the eve of the summit, while the UK announced new restrictions targeting Russia's energy and financial sectors. Both have been also pushing to lower a G-7 price cap on Russian oil, a move the US has so far opposed. However, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen appeared to step back from the EU's proposal to lower the cap, a key element of the bloc's latest sanctions package meant to cut Putin's ability to fund his war machine. The EU proposed lowering the cap to $45 per barrel from the current $60, but the recent surge in crude prices has complicated efforts to reach the required unanimity among member states. 'In the last days, we have seen the price has risen so the oil price cap does serve its function,' von der Leyen said on the sidelines of the G-7, where the proposal was discussed. 'At the moment, there's little pressure on lowering the oil price cap.' UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told reporters that he was supportive of implementing the lower threshold. 'Obviously we're still looking at how we're going to make that work but I strongly believe that we have to put those sanctions in place,' he said on Tuesday. The discussions and measures come as Russia strikes Ukraine with some of the most intensive bombing campaigns since the beginning of the war, providing little sign that it's serious about ending the war. Russian air strikes killed at least 14 people in Kyiv overnight in what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as 'one of the most horrific attacks' as multiple locations in the Ukrainian capital were struck by drones and missiles or hit by debris. A direct strike on a nine-story apartment building caused an entire section to collapse and the search was underway to find survivors in the debris, the Ukrainian president said in a post on X. He said it was unclear how many remained trapped, as buildings have been damaged across the city. 'Such attacks are pure terrorism,' Zelenskiy said on X after arriving in Canada for the G-7 meeting. 'And the whole world, the United States, and Europe must finally respond as a civilized society responds to terrorists.' The Ukrainian president was due to meet Trump on Tuesday but that meeting will no longer happen after the US president returned early to Washington, saying he needed to deal with the crisis in the Middle East. European nations are increasingly unsure whether they can trust Trump to stick to his word and are buying time. They continue to engage with the president and resist antagonizing him, but in parallel they are looking to strengthen security ties with like-minded allies and are figuring out how to help Ukraine's position as the US appetite for aid wanes. --With assistance from Brian Platt, Ellen Milligan and Daryna Krasnolutska.
