Friday, October 27, 2023, Vol. 47, No. 44

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street fell in mixed trading after some big-name companies warned about an uncertain global economy hitting their upcoming profits.

Reports also showed Thursday that the U.S. economy continues to storm ahead despite much higher interest rates that have already lashed the stock market. The S&P 500 lost 1.2%.

Another steep fall for Big Tech dragged on the market and sent the Nasdaq composite to a market-leading loss of 1.8%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 251 points.

Treasury yields fell after erasing earlier gains. The yield on the 10-year Treasury dropped to 4.84%.
