Stock market today: Wall Street swings to a mixed finish as yields veer in the bond market

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:51:06 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street swung to a mixed finish Monday, continuing a monthslong run where it’s slavishly followed the cue of the bond market.The S&P 500 slipped 7.12 points, or 0.2%, to 4,217.04, coming off its worst week in a month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 190.87, or 0.6%, to 32,836.41. The Nasdaq composite rose 34.52, or 0.3%, to 13,018.33.Rapidly rising yields in the bond market have been pressuring stock prices since the summer, and they seemed set to climb further. Early Monday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury briefly topped 5.02% to touch its highest level since 2007. That helped to torpedo stocks, and the S&P 500 quickly slumped 0.8%.But the 10-year yield eventually eased back to 4.84%, down from with 4.91% late Friday, as oil prices tumbled to take some pressure off inflation. That relaxed the vise on the stock market. Easier bond yields tend to most help stocks of companies promising big growth far in the future or those seen as the most...
