Stock market today: Wall Street drifts as stocks continue to follow the bond market’s lead

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:28 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is drifting Monday, continuing a monthslong run where it’s slavishly followed the cue of the bond market.The S&P 500 was 0.2% lower in morning trading, coming off its worst week in a month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 90 points, or 0.3%, as of 10:33 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% lower.Rapidly rising yields in the bond market have been knocking stock prices lower since the summer, and Treasury yields were swinging. Early Monday morning, the yield on the 10-year Treasury briefly topped 5.02% to touch its highest level since 2007. That helped drive the S&P 500 to an early loss of 0.8%.But the 10-year yield then eased back to 4.92%, compared with 4.91% late Friday, which helped stocks to recover their early losses. The S&P 500 briefly flipped to a small gain when the 10-year yield fell back to 4.90%. As the centerpiece of the global financial system, Treasury yields help dictate how much investors pay for...
