   Dow Falls As Treasury Yields Top 5% And Oil Surges

   US stocks dropped for a second consecutive session as surging crude prices and soaring Treasury yields weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 328.09 points, or 1%, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.4% and the Nasdaq declined 0.6%. West Texas Intermediate crude futures jumped 4.4% to settle near $106 per barrel amid Middle East supply disruption fears. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield climbed past 5% to reach its highest level since 2007. Traders are aggressively pricing in an upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision, assigning a high probability to an imminent rate hike.

   Why it matters

   Global bond yields have reached multi-year highs matching levels not seen since 2008, raising financial stakes for major borrowers worldwide. The convergence of multi-month high oil prices and climbing borrowing costs creates a severe double whammy for equity markets. Market participants are closely monitoring the Federal Reserve and assessing policy credibility as the 10-year yield breaks critical psychological thresholds.
