The National Bank of Serbia released its weekly overview of global financial market developments for 6–10 April 2026, covering movements in major equity indices, government bond yields, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The report links much of the period’s price action to news around a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which supported the euro against the dollar, eased parts of the US yield curve and helped drive a sharp drop in oil prices. EUR/USD rose 1.75% to 1.1721, with the exchange rate trading between 1.1505 and 1.1739. The S&P 500 gained 3.56% and the NASDAQ 4.68%, while the US generic two-year and ten-year Treasury yields ended at 3.80% and 4.32% after declines of 4.5 basis points and about 3 basis points. Germany’s two-year yield edged down to 2.60% and the ten-year rose to 3.06%. Brent crude fell 12.68% to USD 95.20/bbl and gold rose 1.86% to USD 4,763.90/oz, and the report also notes that Romania and Poland held their policy rates at 6.50% and 3.75% and that Poland completed a USD 6.0bn triple-tranche dollar Eurobond issue.
