## Geopolitical spark and market reaction  
U.S. military action against Iran on Tuesday followed reports of attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting traders to price in a geopolitical risk premium【1】. The resulting surge in crude oil prices lifted energy‑driven inflation expectations, which in turn pushed market participants to anticipate at least one more Fed rate hike this year. Higher rate‑hop expectations typically drive Treasury yields up, and the bond market reflected this with yields climbing【1】.  

## Currency dynamics and policy outlook  
The oil‑driven inflation narrative bolstered the U.S. dollar, a traditional safe‑haven currency, while the euro struggled to gain traction, hovering around the 1.1400 level during the Asian session【1】. Traders remain cautious, awaiting the release of the June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes later in the U.S. session, seeking clearer guidance on the Fed’s future rate path. The minutes are expected to influence both the dollar’s trajectory and broader bond market movements【1】.  

## What to watch  
- June FOMC minutes (release later today) for any shift in Fed rate expectations.  
- Crude oil price movements, especially any further spikes that could reignite inflation concerns.  
- EUR/USD support around 1.1400; a break below could signal deeper dollar strength.  

The episode underscores how quickly geopolitical events can translate into higher commodity prices, stoking inflation fears that feed into bond yields and currency valuations. Market participants will be watching whether the Fed’s upcoming guidance reinforces the current trajectory or introduces new uncertainty.
