Stocks retreated Friday as a surge in the 10-year Treasury yield prompted broader concerns about the state of the economy.
The S&P 500 shed 1.26% to 4,224.16 and registered its first losing week in three. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.53% to 12,983.81. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 286.89 points, or 0.86%, to end at 33,127.28, dragged down in the session by American Express following a mixed earnings report.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury crossed 5% for the first time in 16 years on Thursday, a level that could ripple through the economy by raising rates on mortgages, credit cards, auto loans and more. Not to mention, it offers investors an attractive alternative to stocks.
