US stock indexes ended trading lower on Wednesday as investors assessed the rise in oil prices and its possible impact on inflation. The increase in oil prices was caused by the plans of Saudi Arabia and Russia to extend the voluntary reduction of oil production until the end of 2023, which caused concern in financial markets. It also reduced risk appetite, and the yield on 10-year US government bonds came close to the multi-year highs reached earlier.
