On Monday, the stock market experienced a downturn, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 274.30 points (0.71%) to 38,380.12, and the S&P 500 declining 0.32% to 4,942.81, retreating from its recent record high influenced by Big Tech gains. The Nasdaq Composite also saw a slight decrease of 0.2%, closing at 15,597.68. This downward movement was largely attributed to a significant rise in Treasury yields, fueled by concerns that the Federal Reserve might not implement rate cuts as previously anticipated.
