U.S. stocks struggle to find footing as bond yields continue rise

U.S. stocks were mostly lower Monday, struggling to maintain their footing after a third straight losing week attributed to a surge in bond yields and concerns about China’s economy that have been amplified by worries over the country’s property sector.
