I would split the move roughly like this:
Oil/geopolitical tension: 60%
Brent oil moved close to US$108.
Higher oil prices can push inflation higher.
That makes investors expect higher interest rates for longer, which pushes Treasury yields up.
Fed/rate expectations: 40%
Stronger inflation data increased expectations of a rate hike.
Markets were pricing around 89–92% probability of a hike this week.
This directly supports higher Treasury yields.
My view
The oil shock was the main trigger, while Fed expectations amplified it.
The important point is that a 5% 10-year Treasury yield is a big deal for expensive growth stocks. Higher yields make future profits worth less today, so high-valuation technology and AI stocks can face pressure.
For investors:
Short term → I would be cautious about chasing expensive AI/software stocks.
Long term → I would watch for good companies to fall because of higher rates, rather than panic-selling.
Bottom line: Oil 60% + Fed 40%.
Chip Stocks Sold Off, But AMD Says Demand Still Outstrips Supply?
Chips retreated with the AI complex Thursday: Intel -5.34% to $107.08, Broadcom -4.35% to $360.14, AMD -3.90% to $620.68, Nvidia -2.94% to $230.48. AMD CEO Lisa Su said in Taipei this week that AI chip demand still exceeds supply even as output scales into 2026, with HBM, packaging and wafers all constrained; Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan reaffirmed Terafab. Bulls say a read from those with real order books beats an accounting revision; bears say capacity is a 2026 story and downstream budgets validate demand, not supplier talk. Executives call demand insatiable while stocks fall — add here?

    55% oil and 45% Fed feels closer to it for me. The gap is really term premium now, and duration pain for growth lasts longer if crude stays sticky
