what happened
US stocks rose on Tuesday as oil and Treasury yields eased. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.94% to 52,453.89, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 7,721.27 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.2%. 3M shares jumped after it expanded its data-center partnership with Amazon and raised its full-year profit forecast. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note fell 4 basis points to 5.096%, after data showed a sharp slump in US homebuilding and pending home sales.
The euro rose 0.17% to $1.1229 even as unrest in France continued and curfews remained in place. The 10-year French OAT yield climbed 3 basis points to 4.96%, and its spread over Bunds widened to 152.5 bps. Brent fell 1.2% to $108.23 a barrel and US crude slipped 0.89% to $102.74, after oil had touched a five-month high on Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure.
why it matters
Lower yields and rising indexes suggest the market is taking the situation calmly, with earnings season supporting sentiment. Traders are watching the Fed: CME FedWatch shows the chance of a rate hike at next week's meeting fell to 14.9%. French political risk and high oil prices remain the main threats.
market impact
US bonds and stocks: lower yields support equities; oil and the euro are under geopolitical risk pressure
