The Dow Jones fell between 325 and 565 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also declined from recent highs. Investors reacted to the 10-year Treasury yield reaching its highest level since 2002 and Brent crude surpassing $100 per barrel, fueling uncertainty about potential Fed rate hikes and economic borrowing costs.
