Stock market today: Most of Wall Street falls as the bond market cranks up the pressure

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:32:10 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Most stocks are falling Monday as the constrictor of higher interest rates tightens its coils around Wall Street.The S&P 500 was 0.5% lower in late trading, coming off its worst month of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 204 points, or 0.6%, as of 3 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% higher.Slumps for oil-and-gas stocks weighed on the market after crude prices gave back some of their sharp gains since the summer. The majority of stocks fell alongside them, with 85% of S&P 500 stocks dropping, but gains for Apple and some other influential Big Tech stocks helped limit the market’s losses.Stocks have broadly given back about 40% of their strong gains for the year since the end of July. The main reason is Wall Street’s growing acceptance that high interest rates are here to stay a while as the Federal Reserve tries to knock high inflation lower. That in turn has pushed Treasury yields to their highest levels in more than a dec...

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:32:10 GMT

The Broncos beat the Bears on Sunday, but they didn’t bask in any kind of glory Monday morning.The workweek started and head coach Sean Payton gave his team a clear message about where it stands heading into preparations for the New York Jets.“I said this to the team just 15 minutes ago. I said, ‘I’m encouraged that we fought back into that game, but man, let’s not finish today when we’re done watching this tape and feel like we’re content at all with how we played,’” Payton told reporters Monday. “(We have) too many things that still are disappointing or things that we have to clean up.”Indeed, Denver gave up 471 yards, 26 first downs and 28 points to a winless Chicago team that entered averaging 250, 15.7 and 15.7, respectively.“Same thing offensively,” Payton said. “We stalled for a period after the first touchdown. We went through a third of the game struggling. That sense of urgency has to exist again this week. We’re going to play against a lot better teams here in the next mo...
