NEW YORK, April 24 (Reuters) -Benchmark S&P 500 closed higher in choppy trading on Wednesday, as investors weighed an uptick in Treasury yields amid positive corporate results particularly from technology giants.
An auction of a record $70 billion worth of five-year U.S. Treasury notes on Wednesday helped to push bond yields higher and had weighed on equities. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note US10YT=RR rose five basis points to 4.6459%.
The Dow finished lower while the Nasdaq ended higher. Seven out of 11 S&P 500 sectors made gains led by stocks in consumer staples, utilities, consumer discretionary and real estate.

Microsoft MSFT.O and Alphabet GOOGL.O are scheduled to report their results later this week.
Tesla TSLA.O jumped 12% afterthe electric vehicle maker's plans to boost production and roll out more affordable models overshadowed its weak quarterly results.
"My biggest concern is the bond market, particularly the long end of the U.S. yield curve," said Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist at Bell Curve Trading in Boston.
