What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAs we told you earlier, bond yields are the story. What's new: the WSJ says stocks fell as Treasury yields hovered near fresh multidecade highs.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBloomberg says global yields hit all-time highs. Not a record for stocks, Vera, a record for gravity.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe Russell is down one point two four percent.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Dow is off point six eight, the S and P point three five. That's a sale, Dale, and I'm wearing my good coat.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWSJ calls it valuation compression. I call it your portfolio sneezing into a paper bag. The VIX is fifteen point four.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFifteen is not panic, it's a mild gurgle. S and P futures are down point three two.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorStay calm, and don't touch the bond market's tummy.
