Oil and Treasury yields climb as Nasdaq falls 1.2% and Dow drops more than 350 points
US equities sold off as a renewed oil spike revived inflation concerns while Treasury yields surged (10Y >5.2%, 30Y >5.5%), tightening financial conditions and compressing valuation multiples. The rate shock hit growth and tech hardest, driving Nasdaq underperformance despite NVDA's large buyback authorization. Focus shifts to upcoming PCE inflation, manufacturing, and jobs data for confirmation of sticky inflation and higher-for-longer rates.
