US stocks slip as 10-year Treasury yield hits 5.3445%, offsetting software gains
US equities traded lower as a renewed bond selloff pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to 5.3445% (highest since 2002), tightening financial conditions and pressuring rate-sensitive sectors such as housing and banks. While software stocks outperformed on strong earnings guidance (notably Accenture), the broader risk tone weakened as higher risk-free rates challenge valuations and lift volatility ahead of the Q3 earnings season and key Fed communications.

US stocks came under pressure as the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.3445%, its highest level since 2002, weighing on demand for richly valued shares. Rate-sensitive sectors led the declines, with housing shares down 1.4% and banks off 2.2%. Software stocks bucked the broader weakness, lifting the S&P 500 software index 1.7% to its highest level since November, after Accenture surged 22% on a stronger-than-expected full-year revenue growth forecast.
