# NASDAQ slides as surging yields and oil prices stoke inflation fears

Tech stocks tumble: The Nasdaq dropped nearly 0.9% as rising bond yields weighed heavily on high-growth technology and semiconductor shares.

Geopolitics fuel inflation: Oil prices stayed above $110 as Middle East tensions and the Iran war blockade raised fears of prolonged inflation.
