US Stocks Retreat from Records as Treasury Yields and Oil Prices Rise
US stock markets, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, retreated from recent record highs amid rising long-term Treasury yields and oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel due to Middle East supply concerns. These factors heightened inflation fears and the possibility of extended Federal Reserve rate hikes. The Dow Jones also declined, with small-cap stocks underperforming. Investors awaited the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes while energy sector profits were forecasted to rise despite declines in chip stocks.
