House Passes Bill To Block EPA Water Rules
The House approved 261 to 155 a bill to force the EPA and Army Corps to withdraw their water rules and consult with state and local officials before rewriting them. The White House would veto. EPA says the rules clarify which streams and wetlands fall under the Clean Water Act to protect drinking water.

Global bond selling pushed the 10 year U.S. Treasury yield to 2.36 percent, a five month high, as traders worldwide dumped government bonds. Analysts note the move reflects overseas market dynamics rather than U.S. growth or inflation signals, with German yields also low and negative yields prompting strategic selling.
