Bears rule as yields rise
Wall Street opened the day in negative territory on news of a rise in U.S. Treasury notes.
At 9:58 a.m. ET the Russell 2000 was down 5.30 points, or 0.64 percent, to 827.88. Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 38.28 points, or 0.29 percent, to 13,386.68.
The 10-year Treasury note increased to 5.21%, on growing concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve will not lower interest rates this year. Last week marked the first time in 10 months that the note crossed the $5 mark. The 2-year Treasury note has climbed to 5.04%.
