Dow trades 200 points off intraday high as 10-year Treasury rate holds near lowest since 2017
The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Tuesday and the broader market were trading well off their highs of the session as bond yields held around multiyear lows, implying that investors are finding it difficult to shake fears about sluggish global growth and its impact on the U.S. The Dow was up about 67 points, or 0.3%, at 25,580, in late-afternoon trade, off from its best intrasession level at 25,796. Moves for equities come as the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was at 2.41%, representing its lowest level since December of 2017, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The lower rates have been a feature of the market of the past several weeks after the Federal Reserve affirmed that it was pausing on further near-term rate hikes. What has followed is a so-called yield-curve inversion, where shorter-dated bond yields rise above their longer-dated counterparts. In this case, yields for the 3-month T-bill rose above those of the 10-year Treasury note for the first time since 2007. An inversion has been an accurate predictor of coming economic recessions in the following 18 to 24 months, research shows. The S&P 500 index , meanwhile, was up 0.3% at 2,806, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was climbing 0.3% at 7,659. Both benchmarks also were off their intraday peaks.

Wall Street lifted by gains in techs, energy
Markets slid on Friday, when the U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted for the first time since 2007 and added to worries of a global economic slowdown. "The market still has no idea what the evolution of growth is going to be and we are getting these reactionary days like last week and bounce backs like today," said Michael Antonelli, market strategist at Robert W. Baird in Milwaukee. The high-growth tech sector, up 1.25 percent, was supported by Apple Inc and chipmakers, with the Philadelphia Chip index rising 1.55 percent.

GLOBAL MARKETS-U.S. bond yields, world stocks rise as risk buying returns
Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields rebounded off of 15-month lows on Tuesday while global stock markets broadly surged after a two-session swoon, as risk appetite improved after worries of an economic recession had clouded trading since late last week. Markets have been rattled since Friday, when the 3-month U.S. Treasury yield exceeded the yield on the 10-year note, an inversion of the yield curve that is widely seen as an indicator of a recession. “After a couple of days where investors focused solely on the chances of recession in the U.S. and concerns about slower growth, today is not surprisingly a day where they rethink those probabilities," said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones in St. Louis.
