US 10-year yield tops 5%; dollar near 19-month high

The 10-year Treasury yield rose back above 5% as oil gained and investors bet on more Fed rate hikes. The dollar is near a 19-month high and heads for its biggest weekly gain in two months. Gold fell to a one-year low in the previous session before partly recovering. US home sales hit a 16-year low.

Why it matters

Higher rates raise mortgage and loan costs.
