Treasury yields were the talk of the town on Wall Street this week, with the bond market running wild amid concerns regarding the Federal Reserve's rate-cut plans. Rising oil prices and data regarding U.S. credit card debt were also in focus. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) hovered near the psychologically significant 5,000 level for most of the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) succumbed to an inflation update, and the Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) brushed off the said higher Treasury yields
