Here's your closing bell brief for Friday, May 15th. I'm Alexis Green for the Wall Street Journal.

Bond yields climbed sharply today, zapping investors' appetite for stocks amid fears that an extended

conflict in the

Middle East could worsen inflation. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield jumped to 4.6 percent, its highest

level in just under a year. The 30-year Treasury yield also rose to 5.1 percent, its highest level since

2007. Both the Dow and S&P 500 traded about 1% lower,

while the NASDAQ dropped 1.5% as chip stocks lost steam.

The sell-off followed a jump in oil prices that reignited global inflation fears

after shifting messages from President Trump about the Strait of Hormuz.

After his first round of talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping,

Trump told Fox News the U.S. doesn't need the waterway open. However, he later told reporters that

he and she want the conflict in Iran to end. Among individual companies, Intel shares fell more than

6% today, after a massive rally for the chipmaker earlier this year.

Invita also retreated by more than 4% as part of a broader decline in semiconductor companies.

Applied materials slid by just under 1% today, despite raising its sales forecast.

Investors sold the equipment maker amid a wider retreat from AI stocks.

And LVMH shares were down more than 1% after the luxury group agreed to sell Mark Jacobs for $850 million. A heads up, an artificial intelligence tool

helped us make this episode by creating summaries that were based on WSJ reporting and then reviewed

and adapted by an editor. We'll have a lot more coverage of the day's news on the WSJ's What's News podcast.
