- US-Iran tensions resurfaced, sending the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq lower while Treasury yields and oil prices jumped in tandem.
- Iran refused to soften its demands, a stance that kept oil elevated and pressured global stock futures to start the week.
Why it matters: Treasury yields and oil rising together means borrowing costs and energy expenses are repricing higher at the same time — a dual drag on corporate margins and consumer budgets. With Iran refusing to soften, the pressure extends beyond a single session and signals geopolitical risk is moving faster than markets had absorbed.
