Global markets are looking to regain ground today, 5 October 2026, following a worldwide bond rout last week. This rout was reportedly driven by concerns over an inflationary shock, linked to rising oil and diesel prices.
Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil prices, has seen modest gains given up but remains above the $100 per barrel mark. This follows an agreement by G7 countries to release 100 million barrels of crude and diesel from emergency reserves.
