Rising Yields Hit Small-Cap Stocks Hard

Original: As Yields Surged, Small-Cap Stocks Were Hit Hard https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/as-yields-surged-small-cap-stocks-we

Small-cap stocks fell sharply as bond yields surged, according to the Wall Street Journal. Smaller companies are typically more sensitive to higher borrowing costs, making them vulnerable when rates expectations rise. Investors are weighing what the yield climb means for riskier parts of the equity market, with smaller firms seen as most exposed to tighter financial conditions.

Why now: A jump in bond yields is raising concerns about the impact on rate-sensitive smaller companies.
