Wall Street is ticking higher to firm up what’s been a mostly listless week following its fireworks since the summer. The S&P 500 was up 1.1% Friday and on track to end the week with a slight gain. That would follow its best week of the year, which itself came after months of sharp losses. The Dow rose 257 points, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.5% higher. Treasury yields eased to relax some of the pressure on Wall Street. Big tech led the market, while oil prices recovered more of their sharp losses from earlier in the week.

Stocks fell on Wall Street as the pressure cranked higher from the bond market again. The S&P 500 lost 0.8% Thursday. The Dow dropped 220 points, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.9%. Stocks had been higher earlier in the day, but the market quickly sagged under the weight of rising bond yields. Yields rose after the government announced the results of a sale of 30-year Treasury bonds. They went even higher after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the Fed will not hesitate to raise interest rates again if it feels that inflation isn't under control.

Stocks drifted to a mixed close as Wall Street’s wild recent moves calm a bit. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Monday in its first trading after careening from months of sharp losses to its best week of the year. The Dow added 34 points, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%. More stocks fell than rose. The flashpoint for the stock market’s movements in both directions has been what the bond market is doing, and it regressed a bit Monday following its own extreme moves. Crude prices rose after big oil-producing countries said they'd keep production cuts in place.
