NEW YORK (AP) — Another climb for oil prices sent the U.S. stock market sharply lower, as hopes collapsed for a possible cut to interest rates by the Federal Reserve.

The losses deepened after oil prices erased an early loss and accelerated in the afternoon. Treasury yields jumped as traders speculated the Fed won’t be able to cut rates this year because of how high oil prices have climbed.
