Benzinga - by Michael Cohen, Benzinga Editor. Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors' favorite stocks over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
The bears ruled on Wall Street this week, as the Dow sank by 2.2%, experiencing its most significant dip since March. Concurrently, the S&P 500 receded 2.1%, marking its third week of declines, an eventuality not witnessed since February. The Nasdaq Composite wasn't spared either, contracting about 2.6% and registering its third week in the negative, a trend last seen in December.
In the midst of this, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to its zenith since October 2022 on Thursday. This ascent came a day after the release of the Federal Reserve’s July meeting minutes, hinting at potential interest rate increases in the near future due to ongoing inflationary pressures.
