The Nasdaq gained 0.45% over the five sessions through October 2, while the S&P 500 fell 0.27%, the Dow declined 1.26% and the Russell 2000 slipped 0.16%. The 2-year Treasury yield rose 2 basis points and the 10-year yield increased 11 basis points from the prior Friday.

Reuters reported the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.278% on September 29, near its highest level since 2007, and the 30-year at its highest since 2002. The Financial Times independently reported the same 30-year milestone. These are attributed intraday market observations, adding a new development to the earlier oil-and-yields coverage.

Reuters’ September 28 morning report described higher oil prices and longer-dated Treasury yields following renewed uncertainty over negotiations with Iran. Its cited market snapshot was 8:40 AM Eastern, not a closing observation. Separately, Freddie Mac’s September 24 weekly survey put the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 7.03%, up from 6.95%. Together, the developments put funding costs and household purchasing power in focus, but they do not mean that every consumer loan reprices immediately.
