What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Investors grew convinced that the Federal Reserve would raise the benchmark rate, causing the 10-year Treasury yield to reach 5% for the first time since October 2023. Anticipation of this hike, combined with rising oil prices and conflict between the US and Iran, led to market volatility and declines in indices like the Sensex and Nifty 50. Real estate and mortgage stocks dropped following the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in three years to combat inflation that had been elevated for over five years.
