Friday's big stock stories: What could move markets in the next session
The Dow fell Thursday as Treasury yields kept climbing, putting the index on track for a fourth straight losing week.
US stock markets head into Friday's session after the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed lower on Thursday, weighed down by a continued rise in Treasury yields.
The 30-stock index is on pace for a fourth consecutive losing week, reflecting sustained pressure from higher bond yields on equity markets.
Yields in focus
Rising Treasury yields have been a persistent theme in recent trading sessions, with higher yields typically making bonds more attractive relative to stocks and raising borrowing costs across the economy, both factors that can weigh on equity valuations.
Investors heading into Friday's session are likely to continue watching movements in bond yields for further signals on the direction of equity markets, alongside any economic data or corporate news scheduled for release.
The extent to which the Dow's losing streak continues into a fifth week will depend on how yields and other market-moving factors develop in the sessions ahead.
Specific sectors or individual stocks most affected by the yield pressure were not detailed in the available reporting.
