This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
On Tuesday 6 October 2026 the Nasdaq 100 closed at its highest level ever recorded. At the same time the benchmark U.S. 10‑year Treasury yield moved higher, reaching 5.32 percent. Across the Pacific, equity markets posted gains; MSCI’s broadest index of Asia‑Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.2 percent and Japan’s Nikkei index added 0.86 percent. Oil prices moved lower, which analysts said helped underpin the positive market sentiment. In a separate corporate update, AMD said it would expand the volume of chips it supplies.
The market move was described by several outlets. Coin‑turk.com highlighted the Nasdaq record and the exact Treasury yield figure, and noted AMD’s supply‑increase plan. Economymiddleeast.com focused on the Asian rally, the oil‑price pullback and the broader context of high U.S. yields. Capital.gr mentioned the Nasdaq boost but warned of bond‑market pressure. Privataaffarer.se reported the Asian gains and the Nasdaq record while pointing to rising U.S. rates as a dampening factor.
Disagreement on the Treasury yield figure
Coin‑turk.com reported that the 10‑year Treasury yield rose to 5.32 percent. Other outlets, Economymiddleeast.com, Capital.gr and Privataaffarer.se, said yields increased but did not provide a specific number.
Disagreement on oil‑price movement
Economymiddleeast.com noted that oil prices retreated, offering additional market support. Coin‑turk.com, Capital.gr and Privataaffarer.se made no mention of oil price changes.
Coin‑turk.com coverage
The digest for coin‑turk.com reported the Nasdaq 100 record close, the 5.32 percent Treasury yield, and AMD’s plan to raise supply volume. It also referenced a strong dollar and pressure on gold, and previewed upcoming U.S. employment, trade data and Fed minutes. The outlet’s summary did not mention the specific gains in Asian indexes or the retreat in oil prices.
Economymiddleeast.com coverage
The economymiddleeast.com digest highlighted the Asian market rise, giving the MSCI Asia‑Pacific index increase of 0.2 percent and the Nikkei gain of 0.86 percent. It linked these moves to the technology‑led Nasdaq rally and noted the pullback in oil prices. The piece did not provide the exact Treasury yield figure nor mention AMD’s supply announcement.
Capital.gr coverage
Capital.gr’s summary mentioned a boost from the Nasdaq but warned of caution because of bond‑market pressure. It did not specify the yield level, omit any reference to Asian market performance, oil price changes, or AMD’s supply plans.
Privataaffarer.se coverage
Privataaffarer.se reported that Asian stock markets were broadly higher and that the Nasdaq set a new record, while noting that rising U.S. interest rates were tempering risk appetite. The digest did not include the precise Treasury yield, the oil‑price retreat, or AMD’s supply‑volume announcement.
What the coverage omitted
None of the digests mention the exact figure for the MSCI Asia‑Pacific index rise beyond 0.2 percent, nor do any provide details on the size of AMD’s supply increase. Only coin‑turk.com supplied a precise Treasury yield number; the other outlets left that figure unspecified.

How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

0 rated outlets
No outlet rated left has run this story so far. We are still checking, and will say plainly if that does not change.
Centre
3 rated outlets
- All three centre‑rated outlets reported that Asian equity markets rose on Tuesday after a technology‑driven rally pushed the Nasdaq to a record close, that falling oil prices added support, and that longer‑dated U.S. Treasury yields hovered near multi‑decade highs.
- Channel News Asia added that the rally was described by Capital.com analyst Kyle Rodda as tech‑led, highlighted Nvidia’s 2 % gain and a market‑value rise to $5.76 trillion, and noted euro weakness, a French bond sell‑off and political uncertainty in France and Spain, quoting Joseph Capurso on parliamentary divisions.
- The France24 and WTVB digests omitted the jobs‑data context and the European political details that Channel News Asia included; they also did not reproduce the analyst quotations. Consequently, their coverage focused mainly on the tech‑fuelled rally, oil price retreat and high Treasury yields.
Right
4 rated outlets
- Free Malaysia Today News led on the rise of Asian equities mirroring Wall Street, noting that a fall in oil prices and increased Middle‑East exports helped. Handelsblatt led on the same upward trend, adding that lower oil prices provided extra support. Seeking Alpha led on the tech rally offsetting oil‑price and yield pressure, and The Straits Times led on the link between higher Asian markets and near‑multi‑decade Treasury yields.
- None of the right‑rated digests mention specific index levels, individual company performance, or statements from market participants. They also omit any discussion of policy actions beyond the G7 pledge noted by Free Malaysia Today News, and provide no quantitative yield figures. No full report is present to supply further detail.
Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Nasdaq 100 hits record high as US yields rise and Asian markets climb?
- Of the 7 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 43% are rated centre, 57% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 14. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Nasdaq 100 hits record high as US yields rise and Asian markets climb left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 7 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Nasdaq 100 hits record high as US yields rise and Asian markets climb biased?
- Nasdaq 100 hits record high as US yields rise and Asian markets climb is one event reported by 14 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting Nasdaq 100 hits record high as US yields rise and Asian markets climb?
- When we first saw this story, outlets rated left had barely covered it. Coverage accretes for hours after an event, so that is where to look rather than a verdict — the split above is the current count, and it is the one to read.
- Which outlets covered Nasdaq 100 hits record high as US yields rise and Asian markets climb?
- 14 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
- What record did the Nasdaq 100 achieve on 6 October 2026?
- The Nasdaq 100 closed at a new all‑time high on that date, as reported by all four outlets. The record close was the central driver of the broader market rally, linking U.S. equity strength to gains in other regions.
- What was the U.S. 10‑year Treasury yield on that day?
- Coin‑turk.com reported the yield rose to 5.32 percent. The other outlets noted that yields were higher but did not give a specific number, leaving the precise level unconfirmed outside that source.
- How did Asian equity indexes perform?
- Economymiddleeast.com and Privataaffarer.se said Asian markets were broadly up. Economymiddleeast.com gave the MSCI Asia‑Pacific index a 0.2 percent rise and the Nikkei a 0.86 percent gain, while the other digests only mentioned a general increase.
- Did oil prices move on the day?
- Economymiddleeast.com noted a retreat in oil prices that added support to markets. The other three outlets made no reference to oil price changes, so the retreat is reported by only one source.
