Major Averages Rise as Investors Tackle Yield Volatility

The major averages were broadly higher, ending the week on a high note as investors attempt to shake off a yield-driven selloff.Long-dated Treasury yields surged this week amid concerns about rising government debt, financing needs and persistent inflation, with the 30-year yield earlier reaching its highest level since 2007. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the government could further expand its Treasury repurchases after this week's intervention, but yields remain near recent highs and investors remain concerned that buybacks do not address the underlying deficit and debt outlook.Meanwhile, oil and geopolitics are adding to inflation concerns. Diplomatic progress with Iran remains limited, while the U.S. is threatening tougher economic measures and Middle Eastern supply disruptions continue to support crude prices. That leaves investors weighing the prospect of renewed energy-driven inflation just as they are trying to determine the Federal Reserve's next move.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
