What happened

Bond yields edged higher on Thursday morning, erasing much of Wednesday's relief which came after the Treasury Department announced plans to increase its purchases of longer-dated government debt.

Why it matters

The surge in long-term Treasury yields has rattled the stock market, there are some names that could get a boost.

Common ground

Perspective signals
