# Tech selloff deepens as yields climb and Iran tensions linger

Tech leads market drop: The Nasdaq fell sharply, weighed by semiconductor losses, as investors took profits after a strong rally since late March. Yields hit new highs: The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since February 2025, raising concerns about borrowing costs and stock valuations. Iran tensions persist: Trump postponed a military strike on Iran amid peace talks, easing oil prices slightly but leaving geopolitical uncertainty high.
