Market Brief

U.S. equities finished broadly lower as a significant rotation out of growth sectors weighed heavily on the Nasdaq Composite. While defensive sectors like Real Estate and Healthcare saw gains, a 1.20% climb in the 10-Year Treasury Yield pressured the broader S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.

What to watch

Investors remain cautious as the 10-Year Treasury Yield maintains its position above 5%, suggesting that high duration assets like Technology may continue to face valuation headwinds in the near term.
