  1. S&P 500 slips as 10-year Treasury yields approach 5 percent

    Wall Street drifted lower on Friday as the 10-year Treasury yield approached 5 percent. The Dow is on course for its third weekly decline, while the S&P 500 softened and the Nasdaq remained largely unchanged. Investors are currently balancing Federal Reserve signals against energy market movements. This downward pressure follows a period where the 10-year Treasury has experienced its worst run in over 100 years, though some investors continue to purchase bonds despite the decline.

    Why it matters

    Rising yields typically make bonds more attractive than stocks, weighing on equity sentiment. This trend coincides with a broader market reaction to borrowing levels in developed nations. High oil prices and Federal Reserve interest rate hikes have further dampened investor outlooks.

    What is confirmed

    • The 10-year Treasury yield approached 5 percent on Friday.
    • The Dow is on track for a third weekly fall.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Markets are reacting to reckless borrowing in the rich world.

    What to watch next

    • Federal Reserve signals on future interest rate hikes
    • Movement of the 10-year Treasury yield beyond the 5 percent mark
    • Changes in oil price volatility
