Stocks Slide as 30-Year Treasury Yield Hits Highest Since 2007 After Fed Holds Rates

US equities sold off sharply, with the Nasdaq 100 entering a technical correction amid chip weakness, while oil's surge reinforced inflation concerns. Higher rates and policy uncertainty also weighed on crypto, even as gold edged higher on volatility hedging.
