Major US Stock Indexes Drop 2% as 10-Year Treasury Yield Hits Highest Since 2007

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Sep 17

Summary

  • The S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq have each fallen about 2% over the past month as investors absorb AI bubble fears, higher oil prices and a spike in Treasury yields.
  • The 10-year Treasury yield reaching its highest level since 2007 has sharpened recession worries, while rising oil has added fresh inflation pressure to an already uneasy market.
  • About 40% of investors now expect stocks to fall further over the next six months, according to the latest American Association of Individual Investors weekly survey.
  • History in the report points to patience over market timing: every S&P 500 20-year period since 1919 ended with positive total returns, and a January 2000 investment would have gained 745%.
