US market summary
Major U.S. stock indexes experienced volatile trading, ultimately closing mixed with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 0.3% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite finished nearly flat. Investors are increasingly concerned by a deepening bond market selloff, which pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to 5.163%, its highest level since 2007. This upward pressure on yields was exacerbated by fluctuating oil prices amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and speculations regarding a phased deal to open the Strait of Hormuz.

Robust economic data fuels expectations for further Fed tightening
A stronger-than-expected September S&P Global U.S. Composite PMI, which rose to 58.4 to mark its highest level since mid-2021, indicates that the domestic economy continues to accelerate rather than enter a recession. While this points to corporate resilience, the data backfired on equity markets by amplifying fears of sticky inflation. Consequently, investors have adjusted their expectations, with the probability of an upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate hike increasing substantially.

Conversely, multiple corporate earnings updates triggered sharp pullbacks in consumer-exposed sectors. Stitch Fix plummeted 22% due to a challenging consumer revenue outlook, and corporate concerns over persistent inflation weighed heavily on major restaurant and travel stocks.

Treasury buyback falls short of maximum target amid bond market selloff
The U.S. Treasury Department conducted a long-term bond buyback operation, purchasing $4.08 billion in debt, which fell noticeably short of its stated $6 billion maximum cap. The buyback expansion was explicitly intended by policymakers to cool down surging global yields and restore stability to fixed-income assets. However, dealers offered over $10 billion in bonds, and the Treasury's high rejection rate disappointed investors, sending the 30-year yield toward 5.5%.
