Global stocks fall as bond yields surge and oil prices rise
AP News reported that world stock indexes fell on September 1 as a widening bond-market sell-off, higher U. S. Treasury yields and rising oil prices followed renewed U. S. –Iran tensions. Earlier, CNBC said the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since January 2025, while yields on U.
S. , Japanese and British government bonds surged to multi-decade highs. Fortune noted that Brent crude rose to $92 a barrel, adding pressure to markets. Later CNBC reports indicated that bond yields continued to climb across major markets amid inflation concerns and expectations of further central-bank rate hikes, and that the benchmark 10-year yield reached 4. 81%, its highest since November 2023.
