What to drove the market?
Economic recovery worries
U.S. stock benchmarks retreated, with the weaker tone across global equities attributed, at least in part, to worries that the recovery could be slowed by persistent supply bottlenecks and the spread of thepandemic.
Earlier Thursday, the U.S. Labor Department said initial jobless claims rose to 373,000. Economists had looked for claims to drop to 350,000.
Drop in bond yields
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was down 3.4 basis points at 1.287% after dipping below 1.25%, its lowest since February.
Analysts have scrambled to explain the Treasury rally, which has seen the 10-year yield tumble from above 1.40% at the beginning of the month, with explanations ranging from a loss of faith in the economic recovery, to global appetite for yield, to technical factors that have seen a flush out of speculative bets on rising yields.
The price action across markets reflected a "tug of war between fears of inflation and fears of growth peaking," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley-National.
In the end, such fears are likely to prove unfounded as bottlenecks resolve themselves and as corporate earnings reports begin to roll in next week, Hogan said.
