Financial markets are navigating notable intraday chop as US Treasury yields scale multi-year highs on the final trading day of the month. Retail sentiment is heavily concentrated on Micron's post-market earnings report and high-momentum biotech movers like IBRX and CAPR. Broad market indices remain constrained by bond market weakness and macroeconomic headwinds.
