Why markets care today: The 20-year auction and FOMC minutes arrive only one hour apart, putting long-duration Treasury yields, rate-sensitive equities and the U.S. dollar at the center of afternoon risk. Oil inventories can add a separate inflation and energy-sector impulse after last week’s unusually large 17.4 million-barrel crude build.
