- Dow futures slipped at the start of the trading week after a proposed Iran truce was rejected, driving oil prices and Treasury yields higher
- The bond market flipped to a "higher for longer" interest rate stance, contributing to a broad decline in stocks
Why it matters: The simultaneous rise in oil prices (a geopolitical risk premium from the rejected Iran truce) and Treasury yields (reflecting the bond market's pivot to higher-for-longer rates) hit equities from two directions on the same trading day, compounding selling pressure across the Dow and S&P 500.
