US stocks fall as 10-year Treasury yield hits highest since 2007 | Stock Market News
US stocks fell on Wednesday as the 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 5.106%, the highest since 2007. Strong September business activity and talk of more Federal Reserve rate hikes pushed borrowing costs up. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closed lower. For Indian exporters and companies raising overseas funds, higher US rates can mean costlier dollar borrowing. Watch currency and loan-cost impact before finalising funding plans.
