The US 10-year Treasury yield surpassed 4.8% on Sept 2, triggering immediate fluctuations in foreign capital flows and growth stocks before a recovery set in.[^1]

Global stock markets experienced significant volatility last week as investors grappled with uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions.[^2] Wolf Richter notes for WOLF STREET that the 10-year yield has risen 80 basis points since mid-November, approaching the 5% level.[^4]

The read here is that the market is testing the ceiling of investor patience. On Sept 4, President Donald Trump stated the United States would halt trade with countries running trade deficits if the Federal Reserve does not lower interest rates.[^7] This threat adds a layer of policy risk to the technical move seen on the bond tape.

Elsewhere, foreign investors turned net sellers of Indian equities in the first week of September 2026, withdrawing ₹7,443 crore after two consecutive months of buying due to rising crude oil prices, higher U.S. bond yields and a stronger dollar.[^5] Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 18 models in the coming days and week, with prices at least $100 higher than last year's versions.[^3] Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) reported a total treasury value of approximately $380 million as of Sept 2, 2026.[^8]
