FTSE 100 Hits Record High as Fed Holds Rates and Yields Surge to 5.2%

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, the Dow tumbled over 1,100 points after the Federal Reserve's divided rate decision sent Treasury yields to their highest level since 2007, while the FTSE 100 bucked the trend to touch a record high. We break down the bond market's reaction, a sudden spike in oil prices tied to Iran tensions, and a brutal selloff across Asian chip stocks including a KOSPI circuit breaker. Plus, we cover moves in EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and gold, along with standout earnings from Garmin and GE Healthcare against steep drops for Lennox International and Hims & Hers Health.
