The MOVE Index, which tracks volatility in US Treasury yields, jumped from around 80 to above 104 in just two days, the sharpest move in months.

Since Treasury yields underpin mortgage rates, corporate borrowing costs and government debt, instability here tends to ripple across the broader financial system.
