- Dow futures dropped 400 points as Treasury yields reversed a Bessent-driven decline, with Walmart stock also tumbling in the sell-off (CNBC, qz.com)
- Oil prices jumped after Trump issued his latest Iran threat, adding an energy-market shock on top of the equity slide (NYT)
Why it matters: Yields rising, a major retailer breaking down, and oil spiking on geopolitical tension all hit at once — equity, bond, and energy holders are absorbing cross-asset pressure simultaneously, a rare alignment that intensifies the sell-off.
