Headline: "Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq fall as 10-year Treasury yield touches 2007 high ahead of Fed decision day" (Yahoo Finance, Sep 15). Today's FOMC lands with a hawkish hike broadly priced in and the 10Y near 5%; VOO has fallen three straight sessions (702.6→699.3→696.2). Rising real yields plus escalating Middle East oil-supply risk (oil >$100) skew the next session lower despite modest pre-decision futures gains.
