- U.S. equities ended slightly lower as Treasury yields held near multi-decade highs, per Reuters.
- The 30-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2002 before pressure eased, with bond markets steadying after a sell-off, per CNBC and the Financial Times.
Why it matters: The 30-year yield's spike to its highest since 2002 marks a sharp repricing of long-dated U.S. debt, yet equities closed only slightly lower — and Reuters notes bonds are set for a bruising September while stocks remain little fazed, suggesting investors are compartmentalizing the Treasury move rather than treating it as a broad risk-off signal.
