2021-03-01 07:17:10 US benchmark indices were roiled last week by the selloff in the bond markets. The S&P 500, the Dow Jones, and the Nasdaq 100 indices all posted weekly declines, as 10-year US Treasury yields posted a one-year high and even breached the psychologically-important 1.60 mark before moderating on Friday.


At the time of writing, the futures contracts for all three US benchmark stock indices are jumping higher.

These fears heavily influenced bond markets, global stocks, currencies, and even commodities during the trading week.

On Monday, we covered the Pound which at the time was the best performing G10 currency year-to-date. A healthy combination of... Read More (https://www.forextime.com/market-analysis/week-review-tech-slumps-yields-soar-dollar-rebounds) Open / Comment
