STOCKS TRADE HIGHER AS COMPANY EARNINGS ROLL IN

Bond yields continue to rise after 10-year Treasury yield touched 2024 highs on Monday

The day a whole city fell silent

Updated

Three days after the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, it followed with a second bomb on Nagasaki, 68 years ago today. After the bomb exploded, Japanese officials didn't realize what had happened until the city fell eerily silent, as the national broadcaster suddenly went off the air and telegraph and telephone lines went dead. The bombs killed a combined 120,000 people outright, tens of thousands more through injury and radiation sickness.
