Stocks wavered on Wednesday, putting a halt to the November rally that has propelled the S&P 500 to its best month since July 2022. The S&P 500 edged lower by 0.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added just 13 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell by 0.2%. In the meantime, the yield on the 10-year Treasury continued its third consecutive decline, reaching 4.27%. This decline in yields has been a cause for concern among investors, as it suggests a potential slowdown in economic growth. Despite recent reassurances from inflation and economic data, the market remains cautious about the possibility of a soft economic landing.
