Energy shares reacted to the recovery in regional exports. Crude flows resumed after disruptions, easing some concerns about supply shortages.
Bond markets remained a central focus for equity investors. The pause in the 10-year yield offered limited relief after its recent climb.
Analysts noted that rising yields can pressure stock valuations, especially in growth sectors. Technology and consumer discretionary names showed sensitivity to rate shifts.
