Dow falls Friday and posts worst week since March as Treasury yields rise

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid on Friday as traders wrapped up a volatile week and navigated rising Treasury yields and elevated oil prices along with the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike in three years.

The 30-stock Dow shed 95.40 points, or 0.18%, to close at 51,682.64. The S&P 500 rose 0.17% to end at 7,650.50, while the Nasdaq Composite

 advanced 0.39% to settle at 26,522.55.

Treasury yields increased, weighing on equities. The 10-year yield, which climbed above 5% to hit its highest level since July 2007 earlier in the week, briefly rose back above that threshold after sliding Thursday. It was last up almost 6 basis points at 5.006%.

U.S. crude oil finished the week relatively unchanged but still remained above $100 per barrel.
