The yield on ten-year bonds closed flat at 3.932% per annum. Five-year and two-year bond yields fell by 1.1bp and 2.1bp respectively, finishing at 3.786% and 3.498% per annum.

On this day, government bond yields showed significant volatility, starting slightly weaker in early trading, turning upward, and eventually closing mixed. This was heavily influenced by expectations that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran would hold, as well as a sharp surge in the domestic stock market, with the KOSPI surpassing the 7,000 mark.
