US stocks slide as US-Iran clashes lift WTI more than 2% and push 10-year yields to 4.76%

AI Market Summary
Renewed US-Iran strikes lifted WTI over 2%, pushing inflation expectations and driving the 10-year U.S. yield to a 19-month high near 4.76%. Higher yields and a repricing toward a 65% probability of a September Fed hike pressured U.S. equities, with rate-sensitive and fuel-intensive sectors lagging while energy outperformed. The setup tightens financial conditions and raises cross-asset volatility in the near term.
