The drop in bond yields sent shares of phone companies hig- her, as those stocks’ high dividend yields are comparable to bonds. CURRENCY CURRENCY Verizon Communications shares rose 1.4 percent. DRUG PRICE DOUBTS Drug company stocks fell further. Mylan shares lost 2.7 percent after David Maris, an analyst at Wells Fargo, said the company might come under scrutiny from regu- lators because it made some “exceptionally large price increases” on its drugs this year. Mr. Maris said the price changes might also indicate that some of Mylan’s other products were not selling as well as it had hoped. A number of drug companies’ shares have tumbled in recent months as regulators questioned their patterns of raising prices and other business practices.
