在债券市场收益率持续走高的压力下，股市再度出现回调。周三公布的美国联邦储备委员会最新会议纪要显示，多数官员预计今年还将再次加息，受此影响，10年期美国国债收益率维持在数十年来的高位附近。
Stocks once again have retreated under pressure from rising yields in the bond market.

债券收益率上升对股价构成压力，其原因在于企业和消费者的借贷成本随之增加。由于伊朗战争引发的全球能源危机推高了油价，加之美国国债规模持续扩大，美国国债收益率也随之飙升。

Adding to worries over inflation, oil prices have bounced back given the uncertainties over global crude supplies. The U.S. and Iran have yet to reach a deal to end their war. A report Wednesday by The Atlantic, citing two unnamed officials, said that the White House had asked the Pentagon to develop strike options against Iran before the midterm elections in November.
