Banco Santander is trading at €11.81, down 4.19%, as European bank stocks fell amid a global bond sell-off.

  • Reuters reported the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.3168% on October 1.
  • Investors worried inflation and stronger growth expectations could keep interest rates higher for longer, weighing on risk appetite and bank shares.
  • No clear company-specific announcement explains the decline; the evidence points to a sector-wide bank sell-off tied to rising bond yields.
