The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.30% or 91 points, the Nasdaq was down 0.61%, and the the S&P 500 fell 0.85%.
The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to fresh 14-year highs as investors weighed up fresh remarks from Federal Reserve officials calling for the central bank to remain the course on rate hikes.
Citing a "disappointing lack of progress on curtailing inflation," Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker said he expects interest rates will be “well above 4% by the end of the year.”
The remarks come as fewer-than-expected weekly jobless claims pointed to strength in the labor market, heightening concerns about ongoing wage growth.
“Demand for labor remains quite strong […] it remains the case that workers who are let go are still having a relatively easy time finding a new job,” Jefferies said in a note.
Tech stocks managed to cut losses but remained under pressure as rising Treasury yields make growth corners of the market including tech less attractive.
International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), however, bucked the trend to rise more than 4% after the tech giant reported quarterly results that beat estimates on both the top and bottom lines.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), meanwhile, fell more than 7% after a mixed third-quarter results, though some on Wall Street touted optimism ahead for the EV maker after management said they are considering initiating a stock buyback.
“We are encouraged that management is considering a $5- $10B buyback and believe it is a constructive use of cash,” Oppenheimer said after lifting its price target on the stock to $436 from $432. “[We] believe depth of demand is outstripping most investor expectations, even when considering a looming recession,” it added.
The broader market was also pressured by a fall in travel stocks as investors weighed up quarterly results from airlines and railroad companies.
American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) reported quarterly earnings that beat estimates as travel demand continued to recover, but its shares fell more than 3%.
Railroad stocks were hurt by Union Pacific 's (NYSE:UNP) weaker outlook on carload growth and stock repurchases, which offset the quarterly results beat on the top line.
Elsewhere, AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) rallied more than 7% after the telecom reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue and lifted its outlook on full-year earnings to $2.50 from $2.46 a share previously.
The stumble in the broader market has coincided with wild swings in either direction, a pattern that isn't likely to let up anytime soon.
"Most of these volatile moves have inflation uncertainty, and what the Fed is going to do about it, at their core," Wells Fargo said. "We feel this pattern of market behavior is unlikely to change in the near term and is not uncommon during periods of economic uncertainty," it added.

Big week for the stock market. It either needs to pivot or will continue its downtrend.

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:
Elon Musk called a prominent index of socially responsible companies a “scam” on Wednesday after it dropped Tesla because of the way the carmaker handled accusations of racial discrimination at its factory in California.
The S&P 500 ESG Index, a listing of companies that meet certain environmental, social and governance standards, removed Tesla last month. But the decision to eject the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles from a club that includes oil producers like Exxon Mobil attracted little notice until S&P Global, which manages the index, offered an explanation this week.
S&P cited claims of racial discrimination and poor working conditions at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, Calif.. Those claims have prompted a California state agency to file a lawsuit, which Tesla is contesting. S&P said its decision was also influenced by Tesla’s handling of an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after multiple deaths and injuries were linked to the company’s driver-assistance system, known as Autopilot.
“While Tesla may be playing its part in taking fuel-powered cars off the road, it has fallen behind its peers when examined through a wider E.S.G. lens,” Margaret Dorn, head of E.S.G. indices in North America at S&P, said in the firm’s explanation.

This man is rarely wrong and is a person I would vote for to be president even though he hates cryptocurrency and other digital assets. He is the greatest investor of the last 20 years bar none. This option should be digested by every American that can read like the book “common sense”.
