STOCK MARKET
Dow Jones ended at $40,712.78 (-0.43%)
S&P 500 ended at $5,570.64 (-0.89%)
Nasdaq Composite ended at $17,619.35 (-1.67%)
The stock market closed lower as a result of rising Treasury yields and disappointing corporate news from companies like Snowflake and Urban Outfitters. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increased by around 10 basis points to 3.875%, causing pressure on stocks. Additionally, negative news from companies impacted market sentiment, with Snowflake reporting decreased operating margins and Urban Outfitters disappointing in sales growth. These factors, along with a thinly traded market and uncertain economic conditions, led to declines across major indexes, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite reporting losses. Moreover, investors remain cautious ahead of Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, seeking insights into potential changes in interest rate policy.
