\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWall Street\u2019s tech-heavy indexes faced renewed pressure Tuesday as long-term Treasury yields surged, while Bitcoin remained comparatively stable around $64,000.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

US stock futures moved lower ahead of today\u2019s open, with the Nasdaq 100 dropping by 1.2%, the S&P 500 by 0.5%, and the Dow by 0.1%.<\/p>\n

This selloff came as the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.74% and the 30-year yield reached 5.2% \u2013 its highest level since June 2007.<\/p>\n

Higher Yields Hit Tech Stocks<\/h2>\n

The sharp move in bonds had the greatest impact on growth and tech stocks. Nvidia dropped by about 2% in premarket trading, while Micron Technology fell by about 4%.<\/p>\n

This weakness followed a softer session yesterday, when the Dow declined by 272 points, and both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also closed lower. Rising oil prices also added to the pressure, with WTI crude oil currently trading at around $84.5 per barrel.<\/p>\n

Home Depot stock was a notable exception, gaining roughly 1.5%, but that\u2019s because it reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results while maintaining its full-year outlook.<\/p>\n

Crypto Markets Remain Relatively Resilient<\/h2>\n

In an interesting change of pace, crypto has been steadier throughout the past 24 hours. The total market cap is at around $2.28 trillion, up about 0.5% over the day.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin remains above $64K<\/a> at the time of writing, up roughly 1% during the period, despite the pressured equities and the rise in Treasury yields.<\/p>\n

This suggests that the crypto market has managed to absorb the latest macro pressure better, which hasn\u2019t been the case for a while \u2013 when risk-on assets decline, the drop in cryptocurrencies is usually more pronounced.<\/p>\n
