Dow posts back-to-back losses as Treasury yields keep climbing

US stocks ended lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting a second consecutive daily loss as Treasury yields continued their climb to fresh multiyear highs, according to CNBC.

The rise in yields has weighed on equity markets as investors reassess the outlook for borrowing costs and monetary policy. Higher yields on government debt can make bonds more attractive relative to stocks and increase borrowing costs across the economy.

CNBC's report did not break down performance across specific sectors beyond noting the overall decline, and the exact factors driving the latest leg higher in yields were not detailed in the available coverage.

The back-to-back losses mark a continuation of recent volatility in US markets as traders weigh incoming economic data alongside expectations for future interest-rate decisions.

Markets are expected to remain sensitive to further movement in Treasury yields in the sessions ahead.
