Why are Treasury yields reaching their highest levels in years?
It's a new week, and we're starting it with new highs for Treasury yields. Yields on the 10-year hit a fresh high of more than 5.2% after last week's surge. Yields on the 30-year also rose, reaching over 5.5%, its highest in 24 years.
How are oil price volatility and rising yields affecting the stock market?
As traders react to conflicting headlines about the state of the US-Iran negotiations, Brent Crude Futures, the international benchmark for oil, closed at $105.28 a barrel, up 0.9%. Volatile oil prices weighed on stocks. The Nasdaq closed 0.9% lower, the SP 500 dropped 0.8%, and the Dow lost 0.7%.
Why did NVIDIA shares rise after its $150 billion buyback announcement?
Among individual companies, NVIDIA shares rose 1.7% after its board approved a $150 billion increase in stock buybacks. It's the largest ever stock buyback in the US.
How is Meta’s AI expansion affecting software stocks?
MetaShares slipped nearly 5% after last week's gains fueled by its new Muse AI agent. Meta is launching a business focused on selling its AI tools to enterprise customers, which sent software stocks into a tailspin. Shares of Salesforce dropped nearly three percent, while shares of workday lost nearly half a percent. Shares of MongoDB, a document database company, slumped more than 18% after they announced the company's CEO was leaving to lead Meta's new AI venture.
Why did Boeing shares fall over a 737 MAX software glitch?
And shares of Boeing fell nearly seven percent after the Wall Street Journal reported that the company had identified a software glitch in its seven hundred thirty seven Max that could cause an automated navigation feature to fail. Heads up, an artificial intelligence tool helped us make this episode by creating summaries that were based on Wall Street Journal reporting and then reviewed and adapted by an editor. We'll have more coverage of the day's news on the Wall Street Journal's What's News podcast. Listen and subscribe wherever
