Premarket: Bond rout keeps world stocks pinned down

Stocks fell on Wednesday as an ongoing rout in global bond markets saw U.S. bond yields reach 16-year highs, challenging equity valuations and souring appetite for risk assets as investors bet

Stronger-than-expected U.S. job openings data had sent the 10-year yield up nearly a dozen basis points on Tuesday. It rose on Wednesday a further 6.9 bps to 4.872%, its highest since 2007. Thirty-year Treasury yields also rose above 5% for the first time since August 2007.Yields on Germany’s benchmark 10-year debt rose above 3% for the first time since 2011. The country’s 30-year yield also climbed to its latest 12-year high.

Since their move has not come with much of a shift in market gauges of inflation expectations, U.S. yields in real terms - subtracting inflation - are also at almost 15-year highs and are sucking money from all corners into dollars. The Japanese currency had breached the 150-per-dollar level on Tuesday before suddenly shooting to 147.3. There was no confirmation from Tokyo, where Japan’s finance minister and top currency diplomat have made no direct comment on the move.The U.S. dollar’s march pushed the euro to its lowest in 10 months at $1.0448 overnight and sterling to a seven-month trough at $1.20535.
