Major Averages Decline for Second Day as Treasury Yields and Oil Prices Rise

The major averages moved lower for a second day in a row as Treasury yields and oil prices continue to climb. Treasury yields jumped after the U.S. Treasury Department said it will triple its buyback operation of longer-dated government debt to $6B.The renewed oil spike, meanwhile, is being driven by escalating fighting in the Middle East, including attacks involving Iran-backed Houthi militants and Saudi energy infrastructure. Brent has gained roughly 20% over the past month, raising concerns that an extended energy shock could feed directly into consumer inflation and complicate the Federal Reserve's policy decision next week.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
