US stocks closed sharply lower on Wednesday as rising bond yields continued to slash risk appetite following disappointing bond auctions. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq retreated by 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, the Dow Jones tumbled 400 points. Investors were concerned about a surge in US bond yields after a government debt auction flopped, reflecting worries that the Federal Reserve will keep rates higher for longer, especially after US consumer confidence unexpectedly increased in May.
