A sharp decline in bonds yields is providing the much needed relief for tech stocks that have come under pressure from rising rates.

A sharp decline in bonds yields is providing much needed relief for big tech stocks that were under pressure in recent weeks. Yields fell drastically Monday as the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank wreaked havoc on the broader banking sector and pushed investors into safe haven assets. The move brought the 2-year Treasury yield to its biggest 3-day decline since 1987 , while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit its lowest level since February. Yields rebounded Tuesday.
