Due to investor doubts about the sustainability of recent stock market gains, the US dollar and US Treasuries have fallen, while the Swiss franc and Japanese yen have strengthened, and the 30-year US Treasury bond yield has further surpassed the 5% mark. S&P 500 futures are down 0.7%, and European stock markets are seeing similar declines.
