- S&P 500 ended lower alongside the Dow and Nasdaq as Treasury yields rose and traders fretted about inflation
- U.S. crude oil topped $100 a barrel—levels last seen in May—as markets braced for a prolonged Iran war, with stocks and bonds wobbling in tandem
Why it matters: With oil re-crossing $100 and bond yields climbing simultaneously, equity investors face a double squeeze: higher energy costs stoke the inflation persistence the bond market is already pricing in, while rising yields compress valuations across the S&P 500.
