- NASDAQ: Last week, the tech-heavy NASDAQ fell 4.5% for its worst week since February 2021. And the ARK Innovation ETF, which is full of high-growth tech companies, plunged 11%.
- Bonds: Over in the bond market, yields (or the return you can get from buying a bond) are surging. On Friday, the yield for the 10-year Treasury note hit its highest level since January 2020. Now, While rising yields are generally a bullish sign for the economy, they also make riskier assets—like expensive tech stocks—less attractive compared to other names that may get a boost from higher interest rates. The Dow, for example, with its many financial services companies, lost just 0.29% last week.
