10-Year Yield Rises; Nasdaq Poised to Hit New High -- WSJ
Dow Jones2026/10/05 18:07By Angus Berwick and Hannah Erin Lang Treasury yields are trading higher to start the week, with the benchmark U.S. 10-year yield near fresh multidecade highs. The Nasdaq composite meanwhile is leading stock indexes, poised to close at a record. Also in line for an all-time high: Nvidia, the world's largest company by market cap.

In bonds, the 10-year U.S. bond yield is up to about 5.347%, backed by strong economic data and continued concerns about inflation.
