Walmart's 9% Plunge Drags Dow Down as Bitcoin Surges Two Days in a Row

from Market Brief - After Hours

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, Walmart's steep sell-off dragged the Dow lower even as a Treasury buyback failed to hold bond yields down. We break down the US-Iran tensions rattling oil prices, the surprise rally sweeping through South Korean chipmakers, and Bitcoin's powerful two-day run. Plus, we cover the currency markets including EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY, and the biggest individual stock movers of the day, from Advance Auto Parts and Moderna's steep declines to strong earnings beats from Nordson and Deere.
