Why Shares Of Zscaler Are Trading Higher

Zscaler, Inc. ZS shares are trading higher Tuesday amid a drop in yields.

Treasury yields are falling amid economic growth concerns.

Investors continue to worry about rising inflation and the potential for higher rates to cause a recession.

Lower rates increase the present value of future cash flows, which can positively impact the valuations of growth stocks. The 10-Year Treasury yield was hovering around 2.79% at press time.
