<\/div>\n

US stocks ended mixed on Friday as investors wrapped up a volatile week marked by the Federal Reserve\u2019s first interest-rate hike in three years, rising Treasury yields and elevated oil prices.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 114.74 points, or 0.22%, to 51,663.30, while the S&P 500 gained 11.53 points, or 0.12%, to 7,647.19. <\/p>\n

The Nasdaq Composite advanced 92.72 points, or 0.35%, to 26,511.01.<\/p>\n

The moves came as investors assessed the potential impact of a higher-for-longer interest-rate environment on equities and fixed-income markets. A semiconductor rally helped limit the pressure on broader US equities.<\/p>\n

Treasury yields remain elevated<\/h2>\n

Treasury yields moved higher on Friday, adding to pressure on stocks. <\/p>\n

The 10-year Treasury yield briefly climbed back above 5% after retreating on Thursday and was last up more than five basis points at 4.998%.<\/p>\n

The benchmark yield had already risen above 5% earlier in the week, reaching its highest level since July 2007. <\/p>\n

The move has kept inflation and interest-rate expectations in focus as investors assess the Federal Reserve\u2019s next steps.<\/p>\n

The Fed raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points this week, taking the target range to 3.75%-4%. <\/p>\n

Markets are now pricing in more than a 50% probability of another rate increase at the central bank\u2019s October meeting, up from 42.5% a week earlier and 7.2% a month ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.<\/p>\n

The prospect of additional rate increases could keep pressure on Treasury yields in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Oil remains above $100 a barrel<\/h2>\n

Oil prices retreated on Friday but remained above $100 a barrel, keeping inflation concerns elevated.<\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 1.58% to settle at $100.30 a barrel, while Brent crude futures declined 0.91% to close at $103.87.<\/p>\n

Crude prices eased from session highs after China, at Saudi Arabia\u2019s request, asked Iran to limit attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi oil infrastructure. <\/p>\n

However, oil remained at levels that could add to broader inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n

Soaring oil prices have also pushed US diesel prices to record levels, potentially increasing costs across farming and shipping.<\/p>\n

The combination of elevated oil prices and rising bond yields has added to concerns about the outlook for inflation and monetary policy.<\/p>\n

Dow posts third weekly decline<\/h2>\n

Friday\u2019s session ended the major indices on a mixed week. The Dow was down nearly 2% for the week, posting a third consecutive weekly decline and its worst weekly performance since March.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 was down 0.3% week to date, while the Nasdaq was up 0.3%, making it the only major index on track for a weekly gain.<\/p>\n

Investors also monitored company-specific developments. <\/p>\n

Berkshire Hathaway announced that Warren Buffett will step down as chairman and become chairman emeritus<\/a>, nine months after handing the CEO role to Greg Abel. <\/p>\n

Xenon Pharmaceuticals fell after temporarily pausing enrollment in clinical studies of an experimental drug following reports of side effects.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency-linked stocks including Coinbase, Strategy and Robinhood surged<\/a> as Bitcoin prices jumped. <\/p>\n

The quarterly expiry of stock and index derivatives, known as triple witching, also contributed to late-session volatility.<\/p>\n
