Here is where the major benchmarks ended today:
- The S&P 500 Index was down 27.34 points (0.6%) at 4,349.61; the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) was down 173.73 points (0.5%) at 33,631.14; the NASDAQ Composite was down 85.46 points (0.6%) at 13,574.22.
- The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was up nearly 11 basis points at 4.703%.
- CBOE’s Volatility Index (VIX) was up 0.58 at 16.67.
Small-cap stocks led the way lower Thursday, as the Russell 2000 Index (RUT) sank more than 2% to a one-week low.
Retailers and utilities were also lower. Semiconductors and energy producers were among the few areas of strength, the latter posting modest gains even after a larger-than-expected increase in U.S. crude stockpiles sent oil futures lower.
