US stock futures inched higher as traders weighed the latest rise in Treasury yields, with the 30-year Treasury bond yield reaching levels not seen since June 2002.
The move in long-term borrowing costs weighed on major indices, contributing to a decline of more than 100 points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average during recent trading.
Rising Treasury yields tend to reflect shifting expectations about interest rates, inflation and government borrowing needs, and can influence investor sentiment across equity markets as borrowing costs for companies and consumers move in tandem.
Traders are continuing to monitor bond market developments closely, given their implications for corporate earnings, valuations and the broader economic outlook.
Market participants are likely to keep a close watch on upcoming economic data and any policy signals that could further influence the direction of Treasury yields and, by extension, equity markets in the near term.
