Pressure from the bond market hits a new level, and US stocks slide on worries about inflation
- On Wednesday, U.S. stocks drifted near all-time highs as oil prices halted a weeklong decline; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 107 points while Brent crude rose 1.3% to $100.55 per barrel.
- Rising oil prices pushed Treasury yields higher, increasing borrowing costs; the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.99% from 4.96% late Tuesday, continuing a trend that topped 5% last week for the first time since 2023.

- Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington on Wednesday for a state visit and meetings with Trump to steady fragile ties, with artificial intelligence and trade expected to dominate the diplomatic agenda.
