# Stocks hold near highs despite yield and oil volatility

Markets stay resilient: Major U.S. indexes remain near all-time highs, supported by easing yields and geopolitical optimism, despite recent volatility in oil and bond markets. Yields challenge equities: Rising Treasury yields, driven by inflation and energy costs, threaten borrowing conditions and valuations, testing the durability of the current rally. Data could shift mood: Investors await the April PCE inflation reading, which could shape views on whether the Fed maintains its pause or considers tightening.
