The benchmark ten-year Treasury yield remained stable during the morning session, with minimal fluctuations compared to recent days. This steadiness coincided with the equity market’s early strength.

In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude futures moved lower, falling below a recent level that had held for several sessions. The decline came as market participants monitored global supply trends and broader macroeconomic conditions.
