The stock market continues to focus on the 10-year Treasury yield, which hit a low of 1.13% earlier in the session. But the yield rebounded to 1.21% in afternoon trading as money flowed out of bonds and into stocks.
When the 10-year yield hit a high of 1.76% in March, the bond market was concerned about inflation. Now, the bond market is concerned about the possibility of an economic slowdown as coronavirus cases rise due to the spread of the Delta variant.
