The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield jumped Tuesday to 1.54%, its highest level since June. Stocks sold off with tech bearing the brunt. On Wall Street, the S&P closed -2.04%, the Dow -1.63% and the Nasdaq -2.83%. Selling hit all sectors, though energy suffered the least.
Notable movers: Boeing at -2.61%, Goldman Sachs -2.63%, Adobe -4.12%, Microsoft -3.62% and Apple -2.34%. One of the few gainers was weed stock Aurora up 7.05%. The rising yield actually reflects expectations for a strengthening economy, but triggers a rotation out of long-duration growth stocks which are valued on future earnings. Also, fund managers are booking profits before Q3 ends. All of this plays into September seasonality.
