U.S. equity futures nudged lower Monday, while Treasury bond yields tested fresh multi-year highs in an extended selloff that could add another layer of volatility onto the busiest earnings week of the year on Wall Street.
Those diplomatic efforts eased some of the market's concern in overnight trading, but the lingering risk that regional adversaries such as Iran, or even Saudi Arabia, could be drawn into the conflict continues to blunt risk appetite. In the bond market, benchmark 10-year note yields breached the 5% mark in overnight trading, after briefly surpassing that level late last week for the first time since 2007, and were last seen trading at 5.008% ahead of $141 billion in 2-year, 5-year and 7-year note auctions later this week.
Market volatility gauges were also on the rise, with the CBOE Group's VIX index rising 3.2% in overnight trading to 22.08, a fresh seven-month high. That level suggests traders are expecting ranges on the S&P 500 of around 1.38%, or 58.3 points, over the next month.
