- This rally followed Thursday's recovery, when U.S. stocks closed slightly higher after the S&P 500 bounced from a two-week low amid a reversal in global bond sell-offs.
- The market remains highly sensitive to shifts in Treasury yields, with investors closely monitoring Federal Reserve rate expectations as economic data continues to shape near-term policy outlook.
