The global bond selloff resumed on Monday, with 10-year Treasury yields approaching recent highs, as investors waited for a speech by U.S. Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell to provide clues on the direction of interest rates.

Treasury 10-year yields rose around  basis points to 4.64 per cent, while the S&P 500 pointed lower after Tesla Inc. reported third quarter deliveries and production that missed estimates. The electric-vehicle maker’s shares fell 1.4 per cent. Lawmakers’ deal over the weekend to avoid a government shutdown did little to bolster equities as the focus in markets quickly shifted back to interest rates, especially as rising oil prices threaten to fan inflation.

Oil futures edged higher, adding to the previous quarter’s 30 per cent advance, as traders placed bets that global demand will continue to run ahead of supply.

Powell is due to speak at a roundtable discussion alongside Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker. Their views will be of particular interest after New York Fed boss John Williams suggested Friday interest rates should stay high for some time.

“Financial markets were bracing for a shutdown, so there’s an element of relief, but it’s only a temporary lifting of one of the clouds hanging over the markets now,” said Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment officer at BMO Wealth Management. “Interest rates and Fed hawkishness remain the name of the game and the main driver of the markets over the next few weeks.”

The selloff in global bonds has gathered momentum as the US shutdown reprieve prompted traders to raise bets on a November rate hike from the Fed. They now see a roughly one-in-three chance of a November move, up from the 25 per cent likelihood priced on Friday.

The dollar edged higher versus its Group-of-10 peers, after enjoying its best quarter in a year. Against the yen, it briefly touched a year-to-date high of 149.82, after the Bank of Japan said it would conduct an additional buying operation. Gold prices slipped to seven-month lows, extending last week’s four per cent slide, under pressure from surging bond yields.
