Oil shot back above $100 a barrel and US and German government debt rallied on Tuesday as fears increased over the impact of aggressive sanctions against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine, further depressing stocks in Europe and on Wall Street.

Russia’s equity markets remained suspended and some bond trading platforms were no longer showing prices, but dealing in the world’s major financial centers was orderly, albeit jittery.

Yields on 10-year German bunds slid back into negative territory for the first time since late January and US Treasuries dropped to five-week lows as prices, which move inversely to a bond’s yield, rallied on safe-haven buying. Investors are acting rationally from a market standpoint, driving up oil, gas and commodity prices because they understand there could be supply chain disruptions, said Anthony Saglimbene, global markets strategist at Ameriprise Financial.

Russia said it was placing temporary curbs on foreigners seeking to exit Russian assets, braking an accelerating investor exodus driven by crippling Western sanctions. News of the release – less than one day of worldwide oil consumption – underscored the market’s fear that supply will be inadequate to cover growing disruptions to the crude market.
