US stocks fell for a third day in a row on Wednesday as oil prices continued to rise and Treasury yields jumped after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed new bond buyback plans.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) lost nearly 0.8%, and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell 0.6%, extending losses after a downbeat session on Tuesday. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell by roughly 0.5%.
The 10-year yield (^TNX) rose 3 basis points to 4.83%, its highest level since October 2023, as the market reacted negatively to Bessent's announcement that the Treasury Department intends to triple its next bond buyback program in an effort to curb rising borrowing costs.
Oil prices reached triple digits for the first time in over a month after fighting between the US and Iran escalated and the US struck five Iranian oil tankers. Brent crude oil futures (BZ=F), the global benchmark, traded at $101 per barrel, while US benchmark WTI crude (CL=F) climbed to $96 per barrel.
Concerns that energy supply disruptions stemming from the war in the Strait of Hormuz will persist fed into bets that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week. Traders now see a 60% chance of a 25 basis point hike this month, according to CME Group, up slightly from the odds a day ago.

Brian Barry-Murphy insists Cardiff should not be too downbeat about their unfavourable league position after a winless start to the Championship campaign.
The Bluebirds begin the week in the relegation places following a 2-0 defeat to Portsmouth on Saturday which leaves them on three points after five games.
Stoke will arrive at the Cardiff City Stadium for Tuesday evening's game (19:45 BST) buoyed by their 4-0 thrashing of Charlton over the weekend.
But head coach Barry-Murphy has urged supporters and players to remain calm, and reiterated that there is still a long way to go this season.
"It's a tough schedule. We knew these games were very close together in this opening period. With the squad the size of ours, that has its challenges," said the Irishman.

US stock futures fell on Tuesday as rising tensions between the US and Iran revived inflation concerns, with elevated oil prices adding pressure.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) slid 0.2%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) declined 0.5%. Contracts for the Nasdaq-100 (NQ=F) retreated 0.9%, leading the major indexes lower after a downbeat start to the trading week.
Oil prices climbed to their highest level in over two weeks after President Trump said he intends to inflict more economic pain on Iran and threatened to "bomb" Oman if it interferes with the US's plans for the Strait of Hormuz.
Brent crude (BZ=F) futures, the international benchmark, hit $91 per barrel, and US benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude futures (CL=F) rose to $84 per barrel as the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve plunged to its lowest level since 1982.
Rising oil, an AI borrowing spree, and concerns over government borrowing have also lifted bond yields globally. In the US, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) hit 4.72%, and the 30-year yield (^TYX) advanced to 5.31%, a 19-year high.

US stocks declined on Friday, putting the major indexes on track for weekly losses, as the semiconductor sector continued to drag markets lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) dropped 1%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell roughly 0.8%. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) shed around 1.6% following a downbeat day on Wall Street and the release of the world's most powerful open AI model.
Chip stocks, as tracked by the PHLX Semiconductor Index (^SOX), tumbled over 3% on Friday, entering a bear market after Asian stocks fell, with ****** an's Nikkei 225 (^N225) falling 4%.
The market's tech-driven rally from March lows has stalled as investors reassessed companies' spending on artificial intelligence, clouding optimism for the AI trade. Adding to AI jitters on Friday, Chinese AI startup Moonshot on Friday unveiled Kimi K3, a powerful open AI model that it says is the world's largest, rivaling Anthropic's frontier Fable model.
Netflix stock (NFLX), meanwhile, declined by 12% in the first minutes of trading after the company's third quarter revenue forecast disappointed the Street as the streaming giant battles a "dynamic and competitive" entertainment landscape.
