Stock Market Today: Dow Steady, Yields Edge Higher

US equity markets are drifting lower or trading mixed as Treasury yields jump. Dow futures remained steady initially, but intraday trading saw equity markets fall while bond yields rose. This volatility coincides with swinging oil prices, which previously cheered Asian shares before shifting. While a tech rally continues in some sectors, the broader market is reacting to rising yields and instability in the bond market. Investors continue to buy bonds despite the 10-year Treasury experiencing its worst run in over 100 years.

  1. Wall Street Drifts Lower as Treasury Yields Climb

    US equity markets are drifting lower or trading mixed as Treasury yields jump. Dow futures remained steady initially, but intraday trading saw equity markets fall while bond yields rose. This volatility coincides with swinging oil prices, which previously cheered Asian shares before shifting. While a tech rally continues in some sectors, the broader market is reacting to rising yields and instability in the bond market. Investors continue to buy bonds despite the 10-year Treasury experiencing its worst run in over 100 years.

    Why it matters
