- Bond market rout pushed yields to a level where investors can grab 5% returns, with Bloomberg framing the move as the selloff's "silver lining"
- Wall Street drifted lower as rising bond yields and swinging oil prices weighed on equities (AP)
- Treasury yields climbed higher through a volatile trading week, with momentum building into the close (CNBC)
