U.S. Treasury yields soar, devastating the stock market; chip sector leads the decline

Abstract generation in progress
ME News message. On May 16 (UTC+8), U.S. Treasury yields surged sharply on Friday, weakening investors’ interest in stocks as markets worried that the ongoing standoff in the Middle East would further intensify inflation. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury jumped to 4.595%, the highest level since February 2025, and posted the largest single-day gain in over a year. The yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury rose to 5.127%, the highest closing level since July 2007. All three major U.S. stock indexes closed significantly lower. After chip stocks in the U.S. and overseas had risen sharply over the past month, they became one of the most hard-hit sectors. As these market moves unfolded, oil prices continued to climb, reigniting concerns about inflation. Previously, Trump said that even as energy inventories decline, the U.S. does not need the Strait of Hormuz to remain open. Overseas stock markets also performed poorly, especially the previously strong Korea KOSPI index, which fell by more than 6%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 also dropped sharply, and after a major rise in producer prices in April, Japan’s 10-year government bond yield closed at its highest level since 1997. (Source: Jinjishi)

Trump's words imply that if Houthi rebels don't open the oil prices, they won't go up to the sky.

4.595%, but the money is still flowing into debt.
