Small-Cap Stocks Hit Hard as Yields Surge
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 sold off sharply as government bond yields surged, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Higher yields raise borrowing costs and discount future earnings more heavily, and smaller companies are typically more sensitive to those pressures than large-cap firms. The move has put a spotlight on how rising rates are weighing on the riskier end of the stock market.
Why now: Surging bond yields are rattling equity markets, with rate-sensitive small caps bearing the brunt of the selling.
