Illustration: MacKenzie CoffmanDisappointing earnings from companies including First Republic Bank and United Parcel Service helped interrupt a weekslong stretch of market calm on Tuesday, with stocks falling as investor concerns about the economy ticked upward. The S&P 500 fell 1.6%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell around 345 points, or 1%, marking the largest single-day declines for both indexes since March 22. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped 2%, its biggest decline since March 9.
As Bond Market Turbulence Eases, Companies Borrow Again
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Volatility in the Treasurys market matters because Treasurys serve as a bedrock of the global financial system. Trading in U.S. government bonds has become much less volatile in recent weeks, helping fuel a rebound in corporate borrowing after a chaotic stretch that followed Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in early March. Yields on U.S. Treasurys, which fall when bond prices rise, have dropped sharply since the run on SVB, but their decline has occurred over two distinct phases.
Treasury Yields Climb After Strong Jobs Report
  + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Federal Reserve could raise raise rates by 0.25 percentage point at its next meeting in May, some investors believe. U.S. government bond prices fell Friday, pushing yields higher, after the latest jobs numbers suggested that there remains substantial demand for workers despite some recent signs of a weakening economy. In recent trading, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 3.364%, according to Tradeweb, compared with 3.318% just before the report was released and 3.288% Thursday.
Investors Retreat From Commercial Real Estate Bonds
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Office vacancies are soaring in many cities, fueling concern that delinquencies and defaults will continue to climb. Prices of bonds backed by commercial mortgages have recently dropped to levels not seen since the early days of the pandemic, pointing to a growing economic threat stemming from office vacancies and rising interest rates. A small corner of the U.S. bond market, so-called commercial-mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, have taken a beating for over a year owing to fears that owners of business parks, high-rises and other office properties could default on loans extended at a time of different work habits and lower financing costs.
Stocks Fall, Bonds Rise on Investor Worries

U.S. stocks fell while government bonds and gold rallied Thursday, reflecting persistent anxieties on Wall Street about regional banks and the economic outlook. The S&P 500 slipped 0.7% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.9%, or nearly 287 points, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.5%.
To Some Investors, Banks Look Like Bargains
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A growing number of investors are betting on a rebound in the banking sector, wagering that regional lenders are in much better condition than many initially feared after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Bank shares rallied Monday, while U.S. Treasury prices fell, after First Citizens Bancshares reached a deal with federal regulators to buy large pieces of Silicon Valley Bank. The run on SVB that started March 9 had sparked a rout in banks and a surge in demand for Treasurys, reflecting fears that trouble in the financial sector could hurt the broader economy.
Macro Hedge Funds Hit by Financial Turmoil
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Juliet Chung | Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury note suffered its largest weekly decline since 1987 last week. Hedge funds that bet on big-picture market moves have been hit with steep losses as a spate of recent bank failures upends bets that interest rates would remain elevated. The souring of the wager led some, including Maniyar Capital Advisors and Haidar Capital Management, to lose more than 20% this month. Many of the funds, which had notched big gains as rates marched steadily upward in 2022, are now flat to down for the year following a steep recent drop in Treasury yields. So-called trend-followers, which try to take advantage of momentum in markets, also were hurt.
Rally in Bank Shares Lifts U.S. Stocks

Increased investor optimism about the banking system helped lift U.S. stocks Tuesday, with shares of regional banks including First Republic Bank at the forefront of a broad market rally. Buoyed in part by reassuring comments by global financial authorities, both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted their second consecutive day of gains for the first time since Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank collapsed less than two weeks ago.
Stocks Hold Up in Tumultuous Markets
  + stars: | 2023-03-20 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Large stock indexes have shown stability amid the panic over bank failures. The market turmoil that last week fueled a surge in bond prices and sent bank shares reeling has hit stock indexes far more modestly, reflecting an undercurrent of investor optimism that stress in the banking sector can be contained. Since Silicon Valley Bank collapsed more than a week ago, commentators have speculated on whether the bank’s failure could amount to some version of a “Lehman moment”—a sudden shock to the financial system that could inflict severe economic damage.
Banking Crisis Powers Historic Bond Rally
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | Matt Grossman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Turmoil in the banking sector sparked a furious rally in government bonds Monday, with yields on some shorter-term Treasurys collapsing half a percentage point in hours. Yields, which fall when bond prices rise, started falling during the Asia trading session soon after U.S. regulators, including the Federal Reserve, announced measures on Sunday night intended to mute the fallout from Silicon Valley Bank’s sudden collapse on Friday. They then took another nosedive when trading opened in Europe and continued to slide at the start of U.S. trading, while stock indexes wavered.
U.S. financial markets are limping into a crucial period, with analysts warning about the potential for key economic releases to deliver a further blow to investors’ early-year optimism. Stocks and bonds have slipped recently ahead of reports on nonfarm employment on Friday and the consumer-price index on Tuesday. Investors are eagerly, and nervously, looking forward to those reports because of a string of data last month that suggested that the economy was much stronger, and inflation much higher, than most had previously thought.
Yields on shorter-term U.S. Treasurys climbed to new milestones Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that the central bank would likely raise interest rates higher than previously expected and was ready to accelerate the pace of rate increases if necessary. Especially sensitive to changes in the near-term interest-rate outlook, short-term Treasury yields jumped immediately after the text of Mr. Powell’s congressional testimony was released. They then held on to most of their gains even as yields on longer-term Treasurys gave up almost all of theirs.
Junk-Rated Companies Are Borrowing Again
  + stars: | 2023-03-06 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | Alana Pipe | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Bond yields have been rising again lately. That could create complications for low-rated companies that had just started to enjoy having easier access to credit. As inflation showed signs of easing early this year, investors bet that the Federal Reserve might pivot quickly to slashing interest rates. That increased demand for bonds, driving down yields on new and existing corporate debt.
Market Rally Stirs Concerns Over Economic Fallout
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Wall Street’s latest obsession is how much its recent optimism matters to the economy. Fueled by hopes that inflation can keep falling without a major economic downturn, the S&P 500 has climbed almost 8% this year. Bond prices have also surged, driving the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note as low as 3.33% last week after it finished last year around 3.83%.
Treasury Rally Intensifies After Signs of Slowing Growth
  + stars: | 2023-01-18 | by ( Sam Goldfarb | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The 2023 rally in U.S. Treasurys picked up new momentum on Wednesday after the Bank of Japan maintained its cap on bond yields while new data pointed to a further slowdown in U.S. inflation and economic activity. In recent trading, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 3.424%, according to Tradeweb, down from 3.534% Tuesday and 3.826% at the end of last year.
Bright Start to Year for Bonds Eases Market Pressures

Another strong week for the U.S. bond market is giving investors increasing hope that they can turn the page on a brutal 2022. Yields on U.S. Treasurys, which fall when bond prices rise, have plunged this year even more than they shot upward last January, at the start of what ultimately became the worst year for bonds on record.
