US Stocks Rise as the Bond Market's Big Swings Ease a Bit

Steadier Treasury yields and stronger corporate profits helped lift the S&P 500 0.3% as investors trimmed losses from a shaky week.

  • Trimming losses from a shaky week, Stock prices rose 0.3% today, marking the second gain in six days since setting an all-time high.
  • Treasury yields fluctuated after a surprise Treasury Department announcement regarding bond repurchases earlier this week. Uncertainty surrounding the war with Iran and the Persian Gulf caused crude oil prices to flip, further impacting interest rates.
  • Ross Stores, led by CEO Jim Conroy, rose 4.1% after beating profit expectations. Simultaneously, Robinhood Markets jumped 11.9% and Coinbase Global gained 9.2% as Treasury yield advantages narrowed.
  • Most companies reported stronger-than-expected spring profits, helping drive the stock market's recent run to records. His retailer saw "new customer interest" and benefited from tariff refunds, Conroy said.
  • Across Asia and Europe, global markets followed the positive trend. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.2%, and South Korea's Kospi climbed 0.9%, contributing to two of the world's bigger moves.
