The takeaway
The stabilization in yields is the session's pivot. Wire commentary warns that financial calamities tend to follow rapid rate increases, and the jump in the thirty-year mortgage rate to a level near multi-decade highs shows the strain reaching households. With the US 10Y only edging higher, markets read a pause, not a reversal.
Traders will watch whether the slowdown in the bond rout holds through the US cash open, with the US 10Y the key gauge. Oil remains in focus after the overnight swing tied to a report on Russia's nuclear doctrine. In crypto, attention centers on Bitget's disclosure of a hack that a wire attributed to North Korea, one of the larger exchange breaches on record.
