US Treasury yields rise as Wall Street and oil prices fluctuate
US Treasury yields edged higher to close a volatile week, while major stock indices including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq showed mixed results amid rising oil prices.

Market volatility persists as investors react to high borrowing levels in developed nations and shifting energy costs.
