inventories drew down below dangerous levels, pushing oil prices parabolic and prompting an inflationary spiral. In other words,

the market was pricing in oil-related macro tail risk. While a move higher in oil prices will apply moderate pressure to yields

via the inflation transmission mechanism, there are a variety of forces equally working against the rally. The UAE departure

from OPEC+ and new pipeline builds circumventing the Strait will help blunt the acute upside associated with prolonged
