The S&P 500 fell 0.43%, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.89%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.01% on May 18 as rising Treasury yields pressured technology shares. This decline follows a rally where the S&P 500 rose 18% from its March 30 post-war low. Persistent inflation threats and surging borrowing costs weighed on investor sentiment.
