Dow drops 329 points to enter the first bear market since March 2020.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished in a bear market on Monday for the first time in more than two years and the S&P 500 fell below its June closing low as investors fretted over a combination of interest-rate, currency and economic risks.
The ICE U.S. Dollar Index DXY, +0.81% started the week by topping 114, its highest level since 2002. The 10-year Treasury TMUBMUSD10Y, 3.919% yield, which began the year around 1.6%, soared to 3.878% on Monday — its highest level since April 2010 — as six-month through 30-year rates all moved either closer to or above 4%.

The good news is that “in the near-term, we are much closer to a tradable bottom than we were at 3,900,” Krinsky wrote in a note.
