Dow Ends Day Down 193

Losses in technology and health care companies helped pull US stocks lower, breaking an eight-day winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average, the AP reports. The broad sell-off Tuesday followed a spike in bond yields, which sent the 10-year Treasury yield to its highest in almost seven years. That paves the way for higher borrowing costs on mortgages. Homebuilders fell sharply as a result. DR Horton plunged 6.7%. Banks, which stand to prosper because of higher interest rates on loans, bucked the downward trend. KeyCorp rose 1.5%. The S&P 500 fell 18 points, or 0.7%, to 2,711. The Dow lost 193 points, or 0.8%, to 24,706. The Nasdaq fell 59 points, or 0.8%, to 7,351. Small-company stocks held up better than the rest of the market. (More stock market stories.)
