Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares are trading lower by 4.46% at $2,387.87 Friday and lower by 13.81% over the trailing month. The move lower for Alphabet is likely in sympathy with the broader market as U.S. indices have also fallen on continued volatility as traders assess Fed policy outlook, rising Treasury yields and quarterly earnings reports.
Investors continue to assess upcoming corporate earnings while Tuesday saw a 3-year high of 2.940% for the 10-year note. When interest rates rise, the value of future cash flows is reduced for growth stocks, which in turn lower the value of the stock.
