US stock indexes closed mixed on Wednesday, as rising Treasury yields weighed on parts of the market even though inflation data came in softer than expected.
The S&P 500 fell 0.25%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 444 points. The Nasdaq Composite bucked the trend, closing 0.24% higher.
European markets also finished the session lower, tracking the cautious tone in US trading.
