The broader Topix index also declined, losing 0.44%. This downward movement mirrors the performance of U.S. equity indexes, which all fell overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the decline with a 1.5% slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You might be interested: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/us-stocks-pulled-back-with-rising-bond-yields-and-hawkish-comments-from-fed\/\">US stocks impacted by bond yields &amp; Hawkish Fed comments<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Rising input prices and bond yields shift rate cut expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. manufacturers reported a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/us\/us-business-activity-quickens-may-price-pressures-building-up-2024-05-23\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"surge in prices\">surge in prices<\/a> for various inputs, suggesting that goods inflation could rise in the coming months.
