The main equity indexes rebounded from Thursday's sharp sell-off, but all three were down for the week. The trend for Treasury yields across the maturity spectrum reflects growing concerns about persistent inflation, government debt and how the Federal Reserve will respond.
At the closing bell on Friday, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average had added 1.0% to 53,277, but still finished the week lower by 0.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was up 0.4% to 26,180, narrowing its weekly decline to 2.1%. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 7,674, though the broad-based index lost 1.4% this week.
