Markets

Tesla, Netflix, Taiwan Semi, SAP, Las Vegas Sands, AT&T, and More Market Movers

Stock futures were lower Thursday after the
S&P 500
tumbled 1.3% during the previous session as bonds continued to sell off. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury stood at 4.971% early Thursday, edging closer to 5% for the first time since 2007. 

Rising yields will mean any remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell Thursday about interest rates at an event in New York will get outsized attention.
