Stock Slide Deepens on Treasury Buyback Disappointment

The U.S. Treasury announced it will be buying back $6 billion in long-term debt, but it failed to wow investors who were expecting the number to come in as high as $10 billion. The S&P 500 slid 0.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.8%. The rise in Treasury yields continued, with the 10-year yield passing 4.85%, its highest intraday level since 2023.
