Stocks drop on cost worry; U.S. 10-year yields top 3 percent
A gauge of world stocks tumbled on Tuesday, erasing early gains as U.S. bond yields scaled the 3 percent threshold for the first time in four years, while oil prices reversed course after climbing above the $75 per barrel mark. Equities in Europe hit session lows before closing near the unchanged mark and U.S. stocks began to retreat after the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield crossed the 3 percent mark to a high of 3.003 percent, its highest since January 2014. "These higher Treasury yields are providing competition with riskier fixed income products and things like REITs and dividend-producing stocks," said Bill Northey, senior vice president with U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Helena, Montana.

U.S. Stocks Slide on Caterpillar Warning, Rising Bond Yields
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled more than 600 points at one point Tuesday as it extended its losing streak to five sessions, after investors were spooked by a warning from industrial giant Caterpillar and by rising government bond yields. Eight of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 slumped, while the utilities, telecommunications and real estate groups climbed, as those areas are generally considered safety plays because of their hefty dividends. The blue-chip index fell 424.56 points, or 1.7%, to 24024.13, suffering its longest losing streak since March 2017, when the market fell for eight straight sessions.
