lowering price targets on the stock after new U.S. restrictions on chip sales to China. Shares down nearly 2% ahead of the open. Let's get to the markets in this busy morning on the earnings front. We're sort of graduating, Sarah, from the big banks, although we got Morgan Stanley today into some of the regionals and obviously some of the more consumer names today as well. Yeah, kind of a mixed picture across the board. front and center is still this move in bond yields that we've been seeing, especially on the back of yesterday's move higher.

1:15.3

I mean, the two-year yield got to 5.2 percent. Above 520. So these are very high levels. And it also makes you wonder with everything going on in the world and with investors so focused, I think, on the geopolitics and figuring out, does Iran enter

The way I would look at it is if you look also through

2:04.9

history, when you do have these sort of shocks, geopolitical or otherwise, the bid in treasuries historically

2:10.8

is not a particularly durable one. So you get this kind of reflex, buying of bonds, yields go down,

2:16.2

maybe it's over a couple, three weeks.

2:17.9

It's not usually a new trend.

2:20.4

That said, whatever's happening, if there is a flow through to markets, it seems like it's

2:25.1

on the oil supply front or generally inflationary, reflationary around the world as opposed
