Bond yields held steady Wednesday, while stocks in mainland China got a small boost after they got the OK to join a widely followed index of emerging-market stocks. Rig operator Transocean dropped 5%, and AT&T fell 1.3%. Advanced Micro Devices soared 10.6%. Eight of the 11 sectors in the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell. The S&P 500 lost 1 point to 2,435.
