The stock market experienced losses across all major indexes due to rising Treasury yields and concerns about persistent U.S. inflation. The benchmark 10-year Treasury rate increased significantly once again, which rattled the stock market. Some investors believe that higher yields are here to stay, leading to a downturn in the equity market. The release of new inflation data also contributed to the losses in the stock market. The consumer price index showed a higher-than-expected increase, causing concerns among investors. Additionally, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war raised questions about potential oil supply disruptions and a resulting increase in fuel prices. As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite all decreased.
