U.S. stocks finished mixed on Tuesday, as rising bond yields and the threat of an escalating trade war with China continued to dampen investors’ appetite. The large-cap S&P 500 Index (NYSEARCA:SPY) edged down 0.1% to close at 2,880.34. Despite the loss, five of 11 primary sectors finished in positive territory, led by a sharp increase in energy stocks. Dow industrials (NYSEARCA:DIA) fell 56.95 points, or 0.2%, to 26,429.83. Meanwhile, the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite Index (NYSEARCA:QQQ) pared gains to finish flat at 7,738.02. A measure of implied volatility known as the CBOE VIX (NYSEARCA:VXX) rose on Tuesday, notching its fourth straight gain. The so-called “fear index” inched up 2.4% to close at 16.06 on a scale of 1-100 where 20 represents the long-term average. The prospect of higher interest rates continued to weigh on markets following a rapid acceleration of government bond yields. The yield on U.S. 10-year Treasuries surged last week to the highest since 2011. The yield on short-term debt spiked to levels not seen since 2008. Yields could continue higher in the short run as markets price in a fourth interest rate hike by December. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hike rates amid an improving domestic economy. The Final Word: Chinese equity markets have been under fire as of late after the country’s central bank failed to stem growing concerns over a U.S.-led trade war. It remains to be seen whether Chinese tumult will impact markets back home. *****Advertisement***** [9 Stocks To Hold Forever]( Individual stock selection is more critical than ever.
