S&P 500 FALLS 4-STRAIGHT DAYS, BACK DOWN TO FLIRT WITH 5,000
Wall Street's main indexes fell in choppy trading on Wednesday as downbeat earnings reports from some industry majors, including insurer Travelers TRV.N, trucking company JB Hunt JBHT.O, and chip equipment maker ASML ASML.O weighed on sentiment.
Meanwhile, the U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield US10YT=RR, which on Tuesday had hit 4.696%, or its highest level since mid-November 2023, has quickly tumbled more than 10 basis points. The yield is now around 4.58%.
In any event, value .IVX outperformed growth .IGX on Wednesday. This, with tech .SPLRCT the weakest S&P 500 .SPX sector, while banks .SPXBK, .KRX posted gains, contributing to strength in financials .SPSY, despite weakness in insurers KIE.P.
Chips .SOX and transports .DJT fell sharply, and were among the day's underperformers.
At its worst level, the S&P 500 index hit 5,007.25, nearly tagging the 5,000 level, while putting it down about 0.9% on the day. It ended off 0.58% at 5,022.21.
The benchmark index has now fallen four days in a row. The last five-day losing streak ended on Oct. 23 of last year, which was three trading days ahead of the index's Oct. 27 sell-off trough.
The SPX has lost as much as 4.9% from its 5,264.85 March 28 record intraday high. It ended Wednesday down 4.4% from its 5,254.35 March 28 record closing high.
