US Stocks Decline as Treasury Yields and Oil Prices Rise Amid Inflation Concerns
US stock markets declined as Treasury yields rose to their highest levels since 2002, driven by concerns over inflation and Federal Reserve rate hikes. The Dow Jones fell over 500 points, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also slipping. Rising oil prices, fueled by Middle East tensions and attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, added to inflation worries. Higher yields increased borrowing costs, pressuring banks and technology stocks. Investors await Federal Reserve minutes for further policy guidance amid market volatility.
