Stock Market Today: Dow Closes Lower as Debt-Ceiling Deal in Focus - The Wall Street Journal

Meanwhile, Nvidia touched the $1 trillion market cap club, but closed short of that threshold.

Stock indexes ended mixed. They started out higher before wavering. The Nasdaq Composite closed up, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined. The S&P 500 was around flat.

Treasury bonds gained. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note edged down, reversing direction after rising for three straight sessions last week. It reached 3.697%, down from 3.820% at the previous close.

Consumer confidence waned. The Conference Board’s gauge of public confidence in the U.S. economy declined from April to May but topped analysts' expectations.

U.S. home prices weakened. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.4% in March, compared with February, and 0.7% from a year earlier. It was the smallest year-over-year increase in more than a decade. Prices declined in some Western markets, such as San Francisco, Seattle and Phoenix.

Energy stocks were losers again. The worst performing sector in the S&P 500 this year led the way lower as fuel prices fell.

After street vendor crackdown, Corona Plaza market is a changed place - Gothamist

The stretch of pavement in Queens where Liliana Sanchez used to sell aguas frescas has been empty since city sanitation police forced her to pack up her pop-up tent canopy. Her 16-year-old daughter now spends school nights and weekends busing tables to help pay rent. Across the street from Corona Plaza, sales at Alondra Cardoso’s hair salon have dipped 30%, or some $200 to $300 dollars a week, since the clientele from the former street vendor market no longer venture into her shop. Delivery worker Jorge Marin, 35, now orders breakfast from a bakery at a nearby intersection. He used to load up on tamales and yogurt and steaming cups of champurrado at the market, which expanded during the height of the pandemic. Now, at the bakery, he said he spends more for less. “It’s been dead,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said of the plaza since the vendors’ departure. “It’s taken the life out of the community.” The scene on a recent day in Corona Plaza, Queens, where a crack...

Chiefs' Market Movers heading into the Bengals game - Arrowhead Pride

Image
At this point, the Cincinnati Bengals are an interesting opponent for the Kansas City Chiefs . In recent seasons, they have been an important rival — ending one of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl runs and watching Kansas City continue another. But as the 2023 season winds down, the Chiefs are the ones who have been bungling things. S ince the bye week, Kansas City has dropped four of six games. In what looked like the easier half of the season, this is hardly the result we expected. Rather than making progress, the Chiefs’ offense feels like it’s been going backward. Can the team turn things around to clinch the AFC West? If so, they’ll rely on these players to continue (or reverse) their recent trends. Bulls Photo by David Eulitt/Getty Images EDGE George Karlaftis: 2022’s first-round draft pick is on the verge of achieving something many of us never expected of him: with nine quarterback sacks heading into this weekend’s game, there’s a very good chance that he reaches double-digits...
