2023-10-24 | Daily Analysis , Daily Insight , FTSE China A50 Index , HK Stocks , US Stocks

U.S. stocks closed with mixed results on Monday.  

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond briefly exceeded 5% before retreating.  

Traders were focused on significant merger news in the energy sector and earnings reports from some major tech companies.  

This week, the market’s attention is on GDP and PCE inflation data. 

The 10-year Treasury bond yield surpassed 5%, reaching as high as 5.021%, marking a new high in 16 years. Yields on 2-year and 30-year bonds also rose.  

After the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield broke 5%, both European and American stock markets experienced a broad decline, intensifying concerns that surging borrowing costs could erode economic growth.
