What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia led to a rise in Brent crude to $101.69 a barrel, driven by supply constraints and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Separately, reports indicated that SpaceX was seeking $40 billion to buy chips from Nvidia. SpaceX was also planning to issue $30 billion in debt and raise $10 billion in loans for chip purchases.

The jump in oil and gas prices aggravated strains in sovereign bond markets, causing U.S. treasury yields to climb to 24-year highs.
