Wall Street finishes mixed amid rising bond yields and high oil prices
The US stocks concluded a volatile week with mixed performance, as the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond surpassed 5% and oil prices remained above $100 per barrel. Investor optimism was supported by gains in semiconductor stocks, which helped prevent a larger sell-off. Concerns about inflation remain, due to rising oil prices that have increased energy and diesel costs, threatening to extend inflationary pressures across broad sectors of the economy. Major central banks are leaning towards tightening monetary policy, with the possibility of interest rates in the United States rising to over 50% in October, as investors monitor the repercussions and overall impact on markets and the economy.
