Global stocks near record highs despite oil and yield pressures
Global stocks edged slightly higher near record levels, despite concerns over rising oil prices and bond yields. The Nasdaq 100 index reached a record closing high, led by the technology sector, while other indices such as the S&P 500 remained half a percentage point below their all-time highs. Markets are focused on strong corporate earnings and investments in artificial intelligence, with declines in energy costs and reduced expectations for interest rate hikes. Meanwhile, U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rose to 5.32%, a level not seen since 2002, and gold experienced a slight decrease. Despite the stock gains, these increases conceal pressures on the bond market, which is seeing rising yields, and the broader market expansion remains a concern for investors.
