Why Oil and Bond Yields Are Squeezing Global Markets

Season 2, Ep. 171

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, we break down why surging oil prices and climbing Treasury yields are squeezing markets around the world. Escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran pushed crude sharply higher, while a Treasury buyback failed to keep a lid on yields, dragging the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq into a third day of losses. We cover the fallout across Europe and Asia, key moves in EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY, plus a wild day for individual stocks including a huge earnings beat and a brutal post-earnings selloff.
