0117 GMT - Asia-Pacific government bonds fall in price terms amid higher crude oil prices. The latest rise in oil prices "serves as a reminder that inflation risks, hawkish central bank expectations and terms-of-trade pressures can quickly re-emerge," two strategists of OCBC Group Research say in a research report. Oil prices have risen "amid renewed concerns over U.S.-Iran tensions after Washington revoked its waiver for Iranian oil sales following attacks on three vessels in the Strait of Hormuz," the strategists note. Yields on Australia's 10-year government bonds rose 6 bps to 4.8820%, New Zealand's 10-year sovereign debt climbed 8 bps to 4.5080%, and Japan's 10-year government bonds added 2.5 bps to 2.865%.
