- Dow Jones fell 700 points and the S&P 500 declined after a Treasury plan aimed at subduing bond yields failed, per CNBC
- Bond market stress returned as relief evaporated, knocking the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq lower and hitting Walmart stock, per Yahoo Finance
Why it matters: The Treasury's failed attempt to calm the bond market signals that the recent yield climb is harder to contain than officials hoped, putting direct pressure on equity valuations. Walmart's stock taking a hit shows the sell-off reached consumer staples, not just rate-sensitive sectors.
