  • Global Stock Markets Slide as Rising Oil Prices Shake Bond Market
    May 15, 2026, 7:20 PM EDT. Global stock markets fell sharply Friday, with the S&P 500 dropping 1.2% from record highs amid rising oil prices and surging Treasury yields.

Brent crude oil surged 3.3% to $109.26 a barrel, driven by geopolitical tensions and a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, escalating inflation concerns. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.59%, increasing borrowing costs and pressuring equities, especially smaller firms reliant on credit. Despite solid corporate profits and economic fundamentals, strategists warn of volatility ahead as inflationary pressures mount.
