Why Government Borrowing Got Pricier Sept. 29 as Oil Fell

U.S. government borrowing costs, called Treasury yields, rose on Sept. 29 while oil prices dipped slightly, the Wall Street Journal reported as 'Treasury Yields Reach New Milestone and Threaten Others.' Think of yield as interest paid to lenders; higher yield can mean pricier loans for everyone. I find the split notable because stocks had fallen when both were climbing together.
