Ten-year Treasury yields rose almost a dozen basis points to a 16-year high of 4.81% and the S&P 500 fell 1.4%.
The dollar marched to a 10-month top on the euro at US$1.0448 overnight and a seven-month peak on sterling at US$1.20535. The New Zealand dollar slid 0.7% overnight and was last at US$0.5912 ahead of a central bank meeting. “Market participants will closely watch what Japanese authorities have to say about the rapid and sharp yen gains overnight,” said CBA strategist Carol Kong.
