European stock markets face significant headwinds as oil prices surge following Middle Eastern production cuts and Strait of Hormuz closure. WTI crude jumped over 20 percent to near $110 per barrel, while Brent crude climbed more than 24 percent to $115 per barrel. This rally is intensifying inflation concerns and prompting investors to reassess economic growth prospects. Bond yields have risen sharply across major markets, with U.S. 10-year Treasury yields reaching 4.208 percent and 30-year yields surging to 4.822 percent. German bund futures hit 15-year lows as markets price in sustained price pressures that may force central banks to maintain restrictive monetary policies. Qatar's energy minister warned oil could reach $150 per barrel if current supply disruptions persist.
