US Stock Futures Rebound Amid Rising Treasury Yields and Debt Concerns
US stock futures rebounded on August 20 following a sell-off driven by rising Treasury yields, which remain near multi-year highs amid concerns over inflation, government debt, and increased borrowing costs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated the government may expand its bond repurchase program to stabilize markets. Despite the rebound, major indices like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 experienced recent declines, with the Dow hitting a three-week low. Elevated oil prices and fiscal concerns continue to influence market sentiment.
