  • Stocks Slide as Inflation Fears Boost Global Bond Yields
    May 15, 2026, 1:41 PM EDT. U.S. stock indexes fell sharply, with the S&P 500 down 0.91%, Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.83%, and Nasdaq 100 down 1.30%, amid soaring crude oil prices that fuel inflation concerns. WTI crude oil hit a 1.5-week high due to stalled US-Iran peace talks and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, critical for global oil transit. This pushed bond yields globally to multi-year highs: Japanese 10-year JGB at a 29-year peak, UK 10-year Gilt at 18-year high, German bund at 15-year high, and U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield at 4.58%. Hawkish US economic data, including a stronger-than-expected Empire State manufacturing index and monthly production gains, drove bond yields higher. Despite earnings beats from 83% of S&P 500 firms, inflation fears weigh on markets globally, with European and Asian indexes also down sharply.
