stock market crash
  • US stocks finished mixed on Wednesday as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their winning streaks.
  • Investors are awaiting comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday.
  • Treasury yields continued to fall, but an auction of 10-year bonds saw lackluster demand.

US stocks finished mixed on Wednesday as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their winning streaks, while the Dow ended its string of gains.

The S&P 500 has now advanced for eight straight sessions, and the Nasdaq is up nine days in a row. Both are the longest rallies since 2021. The Dow snapped its seven-day win streak.

Investor willingness to keep the rally up will be tested by upcoming Federal Reserve commentary, with Chairman Jerome Powell set to speak during a Thursday panel about monetary policy.
