Wall Street declined Tuesday as rising oil prices and a government bond sell-off intensified inflation fears. The Nasdaq fell 1.1%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.7%, and the Dow fell 0.6%. Brent crude oil topped $90, pushing the US 10-year yield to its highest level since January 2025. These factors increased borrowing costs and pressured equities, erasing the initial momentum from Nvidia's positive earnings report. Global bond yields in the US, UK, Japan, and Eurozone rose following escalation in the Middle East.

  1. US stocks fall as oil prices and bond yields climb

    Wall Street declined Tuesday as rising oil prices and a government bond sell-off intensified inflation fears. The Nasdaq fell 1.1%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.7%, and the Dow fell 0.6%. Brent crude oil topped $90, pushing the US 10-year yield to its highest level since January 2025. These factors increased borrowing costs and pressured equities, erasing the initial momentum from Nvidia's positive earnings report. Global bond yields in the US, UK, Japan, and Eurozone rose following escalation in the Middle East.

    Why it matters

    Previous optimism centered on Nvidia's projected 70% fiscal 2028 revenue growth. Current volatility stems from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affecting energy markets. High bond yields typically lower the present value of future corporate earnings.
