- Dow Jones posted back-to-back losses as Treasury yields continued their ascent, according to CNBC's headline.
- 30-year Treasury bond yield scaled to its highest level since 2002, per CNBC.
- Long-term Treasury yields hit a 24-year high, dragging stocks broadly lower in Bloomberg's Markets Wrap.
- Reuters characterized the session as stocks remaining 'still in bonds' grip' in its Trading Day commentary, underscoring bonds as the dominant force on equities.
Why it matters: With the 30-year Treasury yield at levels unseen since 2002, long-duration borrowing costs are rising sharply — and equity markets cannot break free, as every major outlet attributes the selloff directly to the bond market's direction. Cross-coverage consensus: bonds, not earnings or geopolitics, are dictating the tape.
