United States stocks fell during Tuesday's afternoon session as benchmark Treasury yields breached 5% and crude prices surged following attacks on Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure. The broad selloff dragged the S&P 500 down 36.03 points, or 0.47%, to 7,583.95. The decline mirrors mounting investor anxiety over interest rates and geopolitical conflict.
