The Dow fell 1.23% to 52,215.16 as Brent jumped 3.14% to $116.72 and the 10-year Treasury yield returned to 5.00%; Europe posted its worst week since early September and Asia diverged.
60-Second World
- The Dow fell 1.23% to 52,215.16 as Brent jumped 3.14% to $116.72 and the 10-year Treasury yield returned to 5.00%; Europe posted its worst week since early September and Asia diverged.
- The Dow fell 652.82 points, or 1.23%, to 52,215.16; the S&P 500 lost 0.52% to 7,623.68 and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.21% to 25,955.34, while Brent crude jumped 3.14% to $116.72 and WTI rose 3.8% to $103.27.
- Houthi attacks on Saudi energy sites and fears of renewed U.S.–Iran strikes rebuilt the oil risk premium, and hot U.S. PMI data pushed the 10-year Treasury yield back to 5.00%.
- Energy was the only shelter — the S&P 500 energy sector rose 2.60% — while consumer and rate-sensitive sectors absorbed the cost of dearer fuel and money.
- Borrowers and homebuyers, with the 10-year at 5.00% and the average 30-year mortgage at 7.32%; airlines and transport firms facing higher fuel costs; and American Express workers, after the company announced cuts of about 5% of its workforce.
