U.S. Stocks Decline as Oil Prices and Bond Yields Rise
U.S. equity markets closed broadly lower as investors reacted to a surge in crude oil prices and rising bond yields. Stock futures for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq have since retreated or remained flat.

While some analysts noted a rebound on Monday as specific fears eased, the overall trend remains downward due to the ongoing shock of higher rates and energy costs.
