World stocks rebound, U.S. yields above 15-month lows
Global stock markets broadly rebounded on Tuesday after a two-day swoon while benchmark U.S. Treasury yields steadied above 15-month lows as risk appetite improved after worries of a recession 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.

S&P 500, Nasdaq snap 2-session skid but 10-year Treasury yield at multiyear low keeps stocks in check
U.S. stock benchmarks on Tuesday gained but finished well off their best levels of the session as equity-market investors wrestled with falling yields that usually imply that investors are worried about the domestic economy. Still, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 141 points, or 0.6%, to 25,657, after earlier rising as many as 279 points. The S&P 500 index advanced 0.7% to 2,818, while the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.7% to 7,691. All three benchmarks pared firmer gains but the day's advance did snap a two-session slide for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, even as housing data were lackluster and an accurate signal of impending recessions, continued to remain in force. The 10-year Treasury yield was at 2.418%, holding near its lowest since 2017. A recent slip in 10-year U.S. Treasury yields below the level of three-month Treasury bills, known as a yield-curve inversion has been seen by some investors as foreshadowing of a potential recession in the coming 18 or 24 months, research show. The latest market data suggested that the U.S. economic growth may be softening in parts. Home builders broke ground on new-home construction at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.16 million in February, that's a 9% decline from the month before and well below levels seen last year. Home prices grew at the slowest pace in more than six years, with the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city index rising at a seasonally adjusted rate of 0.2% in January, compared with December. In corporate news, shares of Apple Inc. finished off by more than 1% after a judge ruled that the iPhone marker infringes a Qualcomm Inc. patent. Markets have been on edge after Friday saw the yield-curve inversion manifest for the first time since 2007 and as yields have remained lower. Bond prices and yields move inversely. A Federal Reserve that has signaled that it may hold off on further rate hikes in 2019 has helped to foster the current environment of ultralow yields, market experts say.
