[뉴욕=뉴스핌] Correspondent Kim Min-jung = Major indices in the US New York stock market closed higher on the 5th (local time). The stock market, which had fallen due to a surge in government bond interest rates at the beginning of the market, succeeded in reversing the rise by digesting economic indicators as good news.

The international benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yield surpassed 1.62% during the intraday, rewriting its 1-year high.

However, Treasury bond yields reversed the intraday decline and lowered the level to the 1.5% level again. As interest rates fell, the stock price also turned upward.

The market, which expected Powell to reveal his clear stance on the recent rise in interest rates, was disappointed with his remarks the day before.
