Nasdaq Leads Equity Losses with Oil, Borrowing Costs in Focus

Investors sold technology shares as oil climbed more than 3% and the 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since February 2025.

  • On Monday, the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 closed lower as investors took profits in technology stocks amid surging Treasury yields and high oil prices fueling inflation concerns.
  • The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since February 2025, driven by worries that disruptions to oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would keep borrowing costs elevated.
  • President Donald Trump said he paused a planned attack against Iran to allow negotiations for a deal ending the US-Israeli war, though the United States remains ready to resume hostilities if talks fail.
  • Energy stocks gained 1.8 per cent while the information technology sector fell 0.97 per cent; Dominion Energy shares jumped 9.4 per cent after NextEra Energy announced an all-stock deal valued at about $66.8 billion.
  • Investors are awaiting earnings reports from Nvidia and Walmart this week, which could clarify how US consumers are coping with inflation as Nvidia shares have risen sharply from a March low.
