...published today showing robust home sales and a decline in unemployment claims -- both signs of the economic growth that the Fed fears will fuel inflation -- helped spark the sell-off. Consolidation of end-of-quarter portfolios in time for the three-day Easter holiday were also to blame. The bond market benefitted from those fears, with yields on 30-year Treasury bonds hitting 7.06 percent, up from 6.98 percent late Wednesday. Key victims of the frenzied sell-off included heavy weights Allied Signal, 3M, Exxon, Coca-Cola and Procter &Gamble. The dollar, meanwhile, also suffered, taking a slight dive...
