    30-Year Treasury Yield Hits 2004 High as Oil Rises and Stocks Fall

    Question

    30-Year Treasury Yield Hits 2004 High as Oil Rises and Stocks Fall

    Direct answer

    US equity markets registered their second consecutive day of losses as sovereign borrowing costs extended their upward move. The 30-Year Treasury yield touched levels last recorded in 2004, forcing broad equity valuation reassessments. The market selloff was broad-based, with the Nasdaq falling up to 0.8% and the S&P 500 dropping 0.5%. Rising crude oil prices linked to geopolitical tension added an inflation premium to the back end of the curve.
