# Rising bond yields and oil prices stoke market correction fears

Why yields matter: Rising bond yields increase borrowing costs and reduce the present value of future earnings, putting pressure on stock valuations. Geopolitical fuel: The Iran war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz have driven up energy prices, stoking inflation fears and expectations of tighter monetary policy. Tech faces test: Investors await Nvidia's earnings to gauge if the tech-led rally can withstand higher rates and geopolitical uncertainty.
