Dow Sinks 400 Points as Oil Tops $101 and Bond Yields Hit 4.85%
IXIC sits 27% above its 52-week low of $20,690.249.
Summary
The Dow fell another 400 points Wednesday, bringing its three-day loss to 1,300 points, as Brent crude crossed $101 a barrel and the 10-year Treasury yield hit 4.85%, the highest since November 2023. The Treasury's expanded buyback program—$6 billion on Thursday versus an initial $2 billion—failed to stem the bond selloff, with the 30-year yield back near 5.3%. The dollar index closed at a seven-month low. This follows the earlier report of oil spiking to $96 on war escalation; today's move adds the specific Dow decline, higher Brent level, and the Treasury's larger-than-expected buyback details. PPI data due tomorrow and the Fed decision next week will be key for whether this selloff extends.
