Stocks closed lower on Wall Street, pulling the S&P 500 down 10% from the peak it reached in July. That puts the benchmark index into what’s called a "correction."
The declines came amid the latest batch of earnings from big technology and energy companies and some mixed readings on the economy.
The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Friday, its 10th loss in the last 12 days. The Dow fell 366 points, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.4%.
Treasury yields held steady following a mixed report on inflation, consumer spending and incomes. Higher yields in the bond market have been helping to knock stocks lower since the summer.
On Friday:
The S&P 500 fell 19.86 points, or 0.5%, to 4,117.37.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 366.71 points, or 1.1%, to 32,417.59.
