Most major U.S. stock indexes finished the week lower as optimism surrounding large-cap technology and AI-related stocks was largely outweighed by concerns around accelerating inflation, rising Treasury yields, elevated oil prices, and lingering geopolitical uncertainty. Within the S&P 500 Index—which closed at a record high on Thursday before pulling back Friday—the energy sector advanced the most, while consumer staples and IT also posted gains. On the other hand, the consumer discretionary, real estate, and materials sectors led declines. U.S. Treasuries fell over the week as yields increased across most maturities in response to higher energy prices and inflation fears. As of Friday afternoon, the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note had increased to around 4.59%, the highest level in over a year.
