The takeaway
The bond selloff and oil surge are working together against equities. Higher yields raise borrowing costs and discount rates, while rising Crude adds to inflation pressure that keeps central banks cautious. The combination lifted the VIX to 16.37 and pulled risk assets from Bitcoin to stock futures lower.
Traders will watch US Treasury yields, where the 5.221% extends its climb, and Crude, with Brent above key levels near 108.81. The path of the dollar at 101.1360 and Bitcoin near 82,872 will gauge risk appetite. The US cash open and any economic releases will set the session's direction.
