Due to concerns about rising oil prices and inflation, the U.S. stock market is trending lower, while the bond sell-off continues to escalate, pushing the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury to its highest level since February 2025. Despite Trump's decision to temporarily postpone military action against Iran, the market remains worried that prolonged tension in the Middle East will increase energy costs. Investors will also closely watch heavyweight earnings reports from companies like Nvidia this week, as well as the impending IPO filings from space exploration technology companies.
