S&P 500 Posts Weekly Gains Amid Easing Treasury Yields and Lower Oil Prices
Wall Street closed higher on Friday as easing Treasury yields and lower oil prices provided support to equities. The S&P 500 posted weekly gains despite ongoing headwinds from rising bond yields and energy costs earlier in the week. Investors remained cautious, keeping a close eye on developments related to potential disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.9%, while the broader market reflected similar positive momentum. The relief came as Treasury yields retreated slightly after reaching multi-month highs during the previous session, easing pressure on growth-sensitive stocks.
