Stocks keep partying while yields stay high
U.S. bond yields are sitting near multiyear highs, yet major stock indexes are printing fresh records, reviving the old question of how long equities can ignore tighter financial conditions. Strategists cited by LPL Financial say the stock-bond relationship has turned negative again, meaning higher yields are more likely to pressure valuations rather than support growth optimism.
The big risk is duration: if yields stay elevated or climb further, the math for future earnings gets less forgiving, especially for the most expensive parts of the market. Source: MarketWatch

Any pivot could mean retrofits, program delays, and a new fight over procurement priorities inside the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill. Source: Associated Press

White House leans on oil prices to squeeze Iran
Vice President Vance said keeping oil prices low is now the U.S. “goal No. 1” in its approach to Iran, as the administration escalates economic pressure aimed at Tehran’s main revenue stream. The strategy signals a heavier emphasis on market and maritime enforcement tools to curb Iran-linked exports while trying to avoid a broader military escalation.
Cheaper oil can soften the blow for U.S. consumers, but it also becomes a geopolitical lever: the harder it is for Iran to monetize crude, the more leverage Washington thinks it has at the negotiating table. Source: NBC News

Japan floods kill 8 and strand thousands
Severe flooding in Japan has killed at least eight people and left thousands stranded after heavy rain swamped roads and communities, according to reporting that cited Reuters imagery from Chiba Prefecture. The disaster response is complicated by disrupted transportation and the ongoing risk of additional rainfall in affected areas.

Mortgage rates dip, barely, after six straight weeks up
Mortgage rates fell for the first time in six weeks, with Freddie Mac showing the average 30-year fixed rate ticking down to 6.67% from 6.69%. It’s a small move, but it matters in a market where affordability is dominated by monthly payment math and even minor rate changes can shift demand at the margin.
The next read is whether this is the start of a trend or just a brief breather before rates reset higher again. Source: Fox Business
