The yield on 10-year Treasuries climbed above 1.5 per cent to as high as 1.5727 per cent, but still below a one-year high of 1.614 per cent struck last week.The yield curve, a measure of economic expectations, steepened on rising yields, with the gap between two- and 10-year yields widening by another 6.3 basis points overnight.Rising Treasury yields bolstered demand for the US dollar. The dollar index jumped 0.61 per cent against a basket of major currencies to 91.651, within sight of a three-month high of 91.663.A stronger dollar hobbled the yen. By early Friday, the yen was soft at 107.95, a level not seen since July 1.The euro was also tripped by a firmer dollar, with the common currency sluggish at US$1.19665.Climbing yields and dollar strength pummeled gold prices, which sank to a nine-month low as investors sold the precious metal to reduce the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset.Spot gold slid another 0.2 per cent early Friday to stand at US$1,694.0600 per ounce, trading below US$1,700 for the first time since June 2020.Oil prices, on the other hand, extended gains on early Friday after zooming higher overnight.US crude futures climbed 0.85 per cent to US$64.38 a barrel, after scaling its January 2020 peak of US$64.86 overnight. Analysts said Opec's decision to not increase output in April as many had expected showed what it is prepared to do to deplete an inventory overhang and keep prices elevated.In the cryptocurrency market, bitcoin narrowed overnight losses and was down 3.8 per cent at US$48,473 early Friday.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":367874421,"gmtCreate":1614939833463,"gmtModify":1704777217630,"author":{"id":"3574850099281549","authorId":"3574850099281549","name":"lukecyb","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86b31ee917e065ab961b2a500b7103d6","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574850099281549","authorIdStr":"3574850099281549"},"htmlText":"Like my comments!!!!!","listText":"Like my comments!!!!!","text":"Like my comments!!!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367874421","repostId":2117507788,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":367374574,"gmtCreate":1614915652298,"gmtModify":1704776946138,"author":{"id":"3570519374633708","authorId":"3570519374633708","name":"nakazatous","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ac34656b654252df0f82999785e92ae","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3570519374633708","authorIdStr":"3570519374633708"},"htmlText":"Like my comment","listText":"Like my comment","text":"Like my comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367374574","repostId":2117507788,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":367345020,"gmtCreate":1614914380460,"gmtModify":1704776930453,"author":{"id":"3568945952613347","authorId":"3568945952613347","name":"Wenyin","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4514fca637e841ecdc7c46d694823f67","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3568945952613347","authorIdStr":"3568945952613347"},"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367345020","repostId":2117507788,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":367342438,"gmtCreate":1614914366324,"gmtModify":1704776930128,"author":{"id":"3576056007940397","authorId":"3576056007940397","name":"Audrey Chew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51d86a9f94030f9c99398b8cd03b7d90","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576056007940397","authorIdStr":"3576056007940397"},"htmlText":"likes pleaseeee","listText":"likes pleaseeee","text":"likes pleaseeee","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367342438","repostId":2117507788,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":367322417,"gmtCreate":1614912330039,"gmtModify":1704776904631,"author":{"id":"3574225416500857","authorId":"3574225416500857","name":"Richard1988","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/173ae37a246f2772d4e645668e9833c4","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3574225416500857","authorIdStr":"3574225416500857"},"htmlText":"Crazy","listText":"Crazy","text":"Crazy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367322417","repostId":2117507788,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":367322172,"gmtCreate":1614912290096,"gmtModify":1704776903819,"author":{"id":"3574225416500857","authorId":"3574225416500857","name":"Richard1988","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/173ae37a246f2772d4e645668e9833c4","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3574225416500857","authorIdStr":"3574225416500857"},"htmlText":"Bad","listText":"Bad","text":"Bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367322172","repostId":2117507788,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":62,"commentSize":29,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko;
