Stocks closed lower on Thursday for the first time in five session as a selloff in U.S. bonds resumed and a gauge of consumer prices came in hotter in September than expected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.51% shed about 173 points, or 0.5%, ending near 33,631, according to preliminary FactSet data. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.62% shed 0.6% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.63% also fell 0.6%.
A resumed selloff in longer-duration government bonds was viewed as pressuring stocks lower, with yields on the 10-year Treasury TMUBMUSD10Y, 4.707% and 30-year Treasury note securing their biggest daily gains in more than a week. September’s consumer-price index also showed headline inflation was hotter than forecast, with the yearly rate steady at 3.7%.
