S&P 500: -1.36% to 6,624.70
-
Nasdaq: -1.46% to 22,152
-
Dow Jones: -1.63% to 46,225
Key drivers:
-
Iran reportedly attacked energy facilities in Qatar, sending Brent crude briefly above $114/barrel and reigniting concerns over global energy supply.
-
Despite the Fed holding rates steady, the market failed to respond positively, suggesting investors are more concerned about the outlook for growth and inflation than about the policy pause itself.
-
XOM: The most direct beneficiary of the oil-and-gas theme. If Brent stays strong, watch for a potential breakout above $160, where upside momentum could accelerate.
-
NVDA: Pulled back toward the $180 level. The long-term AI narrative remains intact, but in the short term, the key is whether it can convincingly hold that support.
-
AAPL: Even defensive mega-cap tech is weakening. A break below the $248–250 range would further signal institutional de-risking.
-
CRCL: Improving stablecoin regulatory expectations, combined with recent price strength, keep it in focus as a policy-driven momentum play. Watch the $130–135 range for near-term action.

Pimco warns that the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 6% for the first time since 2000
Pacific Investment Management Company (Pimco) has issued a warning that the world’s most important bond market remains volatile due to high oil prices, inflation concerns, and the US’s massive public debt. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury is at risk of reaching 6% for the first time since 2000. Pimco's Chief Investment Officer, Dan Ivascyn, stated that after several weeks of heavy sell-offs in the $32 trillion US Treasury market, investors such as hedge funds may be forced to close losing bond positions, making a significant further rise in the 10-year Treasury yield from its current level of 5.29% a “possible scenario.” In recent weeks, other investors have issued similar warnings: a “vicious cycle” is forming in the US Treasury market. Successive waves of sell-offs are pushing yields to certain levels, which in turn is prompting other market participants like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to also sell off bonds.
