Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been off to a poor start to 2026 as its shares are down 7% thus far. But that's not a big drop off for one of the most valuable companies in the world.

That’s because, with oil prices soaring because of the conflict, the risk of a resurgence in inflation has prompted traders to prepare for possible interest-rate increases in the UK, Europe and the US later this year. To economist Tiffany Wilding and chief investment officer for global fixed income Andrew Balls , however, the energy shock boosts the likelihood of stagflation — or a mix of sluggish growth, elevated unemployment and high inflation. “Central banks are unlikely to match the market’s recent repricing of policy rate expectations,” with the impact transmitted more directly to vulnerable households, smaller companies and credit markets, they wrote in a note. “In practice, the knee-jerk market reaction toward tighter financial conditions and more hawkish monetary policy is already doing much of the hawkish work for policymakers,” they wrote. Should inflation rise for a time and the economy weaken, “central banks may need to ease more aggressively.” Read More: Bonds Lose $2.5 Trillion in Iran War Wipeout That Mirrors 2022 US Treasury yields across the two-, to 10-year area have risen as much as 50 basis points during volatile trading this month, leaving short-dated benchmarks just shy of 4%.
