Rate Fears Spark Broad Selloff, Energy Bucks Trend

Share

Macro Overview

U.S. equities retreated Wednesday as the S&P 500 (IVV) fell 0.72%, pressured by a fresh surge in Treasury yields to multi-decade highs. Developed ex-U.S. markets (EFA) underperformed with a 1.60% decline, while Emerging Markets (EEM) led losses among the broad benchmarks, down 2.01% on the day even as its 24.38% YTD gain remains intact. Fixed income offered no shelter, as the U.S. Aggregate Bond index (AGG) dropped 0.87% amid the yield spike, with the 10-year Treasury topping 5.12%. Broad Commodities (DJP) stood out as the day’s clear outlier, gaining 0.30% and extending a 40.39% YTD advance, driven largely by a sharp rally in energy prices that offset weakness in precious metals.
