Good morning. Stocks fell on Tuesday as the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) jumped to 4.93% after a hotter-than-expected October inflation reading, strengthening expectations for a rate hike next month.
Long-dated bond yields, which serve as a benchmark for borrowing costs, were already rising after Fed governor Chris Waller said, ahead of the inflation report, that he would leave the door open for a 50 basis point increase, depending on inflation. The odds of a December rate hike stood at 89% on Tuesday.
The 30-year Treasury (^TYX) yield touched 5.3% while the 2-year yield jumped 14 basis points to 4.69%. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil futures (BZ=F) dropped 3% to near $89 per barrel, while WTI (CL=F) also declined to hover around $84.50 per barrel.
