Treasury yields have pushed the 10-year yield to 5.00%, dragging U.S. equities lower amid a global sell-off. The pressure is compounded by the Bank of Japan's rate hike to a 31-year high and Brent crude hovering near $105 as inflation remains stubbornly elevated.

  • New details from the GN auto markets/bonds feed reveal that Brent crude is stabilizing near $104.58 after earlier volatility, while the Bank of Japan hiked rates to a 31-year high, mirroring the Federal Reserve's recent move to combat persistent inflation.

  • The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.996%, pressuring equities and driving broad market declines on September 18.
