US equities fell alongside government bonds as 10-year Treasury yields climbed to 5.11%, their highest level since 2007, driven by strong business activity data and surging crude oil prices. Brent crude rose above $US103/bbl after Iran refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, stoking expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes.
Global financial markets experienced heavy selling pressure across equities and fixed income on Wednesday. Strong US Composite PMI data (58.4) and a rally in Brent crude above $US103/bbl on heightened Middle East geopolitical tensions reinforced expectations of prolonged monetary tightening. Benchmark US 10-year yields reached 5.11% while 2-year yields rose to 4.90%, worsened by weak demand at a $US70bn five-year note auction. US equity indices retreated between 0.7% and 1.1%, led lower by utilities and consumer discretionary sectors, while the US dollar appreciated against all major currencies including the Australian dollar.
