Tech slumps drag Dow S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower as yields and oil jump after Trump Xi letdown

Tech slumps drag Dow S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower as yields and oil jump after Trump Xi letdown

Wall Street reversed its recent momentum on Friday, pushing the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones lower as investors retreated from a stretched technology rally. The sell-off gathered pace alongside rising Treasury yields, with the 30-year yield moving above 5.1% amid inflation worries. Oil surged after Trump’s comments on Iran, lifting West Texas and Brent above key thresholds. Market hopes were also dampened by a Trump-Xi summit that delivered fewer breakthroughs than traders expected.
