Investors are coming off a third straight losing week for the Nasdaq Composite for the first time since December.
However, the major averages declined on a weekly basis in the midst of the summer doldrums on Wall Street. The Nasdaq Composite closed the week lower about 2.6%, down for a third straight week for the first time since December. Meanwhile, the Dow closed the week lower by 2.2%, its worst streak since March. And the S&P 500 dropped 2.1% and posted its third consecutive losing week, which hadn't happened since February.
Investors digested rising bond yields and weakness out of China that put a damper on markets during a typically lackluster season. On Friday, however, bond yields eased somewhat from their recent highs. "The S&P 500 is sitting in short-term oversold territory, a technical measure encompassing numerous components including investor sentiment along with a host of more esoteric measures," Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist at LPL Financial, wrote on Friday.
