Bonds gain, pushing Treasury yields lower

Stocks fell short of a historic milestone on Thursday, and the culprit was a familiar one: rising rates. The S&P 500 rose in eight straight sessions through Wednesday, its best streak since 2021. Had it extended that to a ninth session, it would have been the longest string of gains since November 2004, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Alas, it was not to be. The S&P 500 fell 0.8% Thursday, while the Nasdaq declined 0.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 220 points, or 0.7%.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a conference in Washington that 'we are not confident' the Fed has tightened enough to bring inflation down to its 2% goal. He said officials would monitor economic conditions closely to avoid the risk of having raised rates too high and the risk of having been “misled by a few good months of data.” Rates rose in response, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing 0.123 percentage point to 4.629%. Walt Disney at least had a good day, rising 6.
