US Stocks Rise as Bond Yields Ease and Moderna Boosts Healthcare Sector
US stock markets rose on Wednesday, ending a three-day losing streak as government bond yields eased from multi-year highs. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all gained modestly, supported by the U.S. Treasury's announcement to increase buybacks of long-dated government debt. Investors showed limited reaction to Federal Reserve minutes indicating possible future rate hikes if inflation persists. Moderna's strong rally following positive cancer therapy trial results also boosted healthcare stocks, contributing to the market's modest gains.
