The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) Thursday closed down -0.74%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -1.53%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -0.44%.
US stock indexes Thursday settled moderately lower, with the S&P 500 falling to a 1-week low and the Dow Jones Industrials falling to a 2-week low. Stocks gave up an early rally and turned lower after the 10-year T-note yield jumped to a 1-week high when US weekly initial unemployment claims fell more than expected and the May S&P manufacturing PMI unexpectedly moved into expansion territory, dampening expectations of Fed rate cuts.
