Stock indexes settled mixed on Friday, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones Industrials posting new all-time highs. Stock indexes initially moved higher on Friday as chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks gained, driven by optimism that growth in the AI sector will translate into corporate profits. However, higher bond yields on Friday sparked long liquidation in interest rate-sensitive technology stocks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +4 bp to 4.12% on hawkish comments from Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, who cautioned against additional rate cuts from the Fed.
