Surging Yields Drag S&P 500 to 3rd Straight Loss as Oil Holds $111
from Market Brief - After Hours
On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, the S&P 500 extended its losing streak to three straight sessions as Treasury yields surged to levels not seen since 2007, triggering a broad rotation out of high-valuation tech names and sending semiconductor stocks sharply lower. Oil held above $100 a barrel despite a modest pullback, keeping inflation fears firmly in the driving seat across global markets. We also break down a bruising session for gold and silver, a mixed picture across European indices, a surprise jump in UK unemployment, and the full FX breakdown across EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD and USD/JPY — plus today's biggest individual movers.
