■ U.S. Treasury Yields Hit Highest in Over 22 Years... Nasdaq Reaches Record High

In the previous trading session, major U.S. stock markets showed strength despite rising Treasury yields.

On the 5th (local time), continued selling of U.S. Treasuries pushed yields to their highest intraday level in more than 22 years. Typically, rising interest rates can weigh on non-yielding safe assets such as gold, so caution over rate movements persists in the gold market.

Meanwhile, the New York stock market saw its three major indices rise together, led by large-cap technology stocks centered on artificial intelligence (AI)-related shares. In particular, the Nasdaq Composite Index hit a record high.

• Dow Jones Industrial Average: closed at 51,267.90, up 90.94 points (0.18%) from the previous session • S&P 500: recorded 7,773.95, up 51.23 points (0.66%) • Nasdaq Composite: closed at 27,477.31, up 286.45 points (1.05%)
