While soaring bond yields continue to spook investors, the US Federal Reserve’s expected rate hike today could add to the worries. However, analysts advise patience and calm amid the market turbulence.

The sharp rise in bond yields came as traders increasingly expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for longer, after soaring oil prices revived fears of renewed inflationary pressures.
