Wall Street overcame the burden of rising Treasury yields and managed to rebound. As the perception spread that prices had become more attractive during the recent decline, buying interest flowed in, and all three major indices closed higher.

In the New York stock market, which closed on the morning of the 22nd Korean time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 517.80 points (0.98%) from the previous trading day to finish at 53,277.01. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 index closed at 7,674.37, up 33.21 points (0.43%), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ended at 26,180.46, up 113.29 points (0.44%).

The market interpreted that although U.S. Treasury yields continued to rise, this did not translate into selling pressure strong enough to drag stock prices down again. Rather, analysts said bargain-hunting funds flowed into stocks that had been corrected by the prior decline, supporting the index rebound. In particular, the Dow posted a gain of nearly 1%, showing relatively strong resilience. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also rose, demonstrating that investors' appetite for risk assets has not been fully broken even amid a rising rate environment.

However, Treasury yield movements remain a key variable for the stock market. If long-term rates stay at high levels, corporate funding costs and valuation burdens on growth stocks could grow again. Conversely, if rates show a stabilizing trend, there is room for additional buying to flow into the recently corrected stock market.

Accordingly, some analysts say that to gauge whether this rally is merely a technical rebound from short-term losses or the start of a new upward trend, U.S. Treasury yields and future U.S. economic indicators need to be monitored together.
