Daily market snapshot

Markets fall for the fifth straight session: Markets fell again today after Friday's sell-off, as rising interest-rate worries take hold. Rising Treasury yields and a persistently inverted yield curve are putting more credibility behind the bear/recession case. Investors are worried that the Federal Reserve will be too heavy handed and turn economic growth negative with its aggressive rate-hiking cycle and now forecast 4% terminal rate. The 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields topped 4.3% and 3.7% respectively, a 70-basis point inversion. The U.S. dollar surged in strength over the weekend after the pound sterling fell to historically weak levels.
