The primary driver of today&#39;s market weakness was a pronounced <strong>&quot;risk-off&quot; sentiment<\/strong>, largely fueled by a significant <strong>sell-off in cryptocurrencies<\/strong>, with <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> notably dropping over 5%. This downturn in digital assets contributed to broader concerns, particularly regarding <strong>lofty valuations in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks<\/strong> and the broader technology sector.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the cautious mood were rising <strong>10-year Treasury yields<\/strong> and hints of a potential <strong>interest rate hike from the Bank of Japan<\/strong>, which can divert investor capital from equities. Despite the overall negative sentiment, hopes for a <strong>Federal Reserve rate cut<\/strong> at its December 10th meeting remained high, with market participants pricing in an almost 88% chance of a 25-basis-point reduction. Mixed reactions to strong <strong>Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday shopping season<\/strong> data, which showed consumer spending exceeding expectations, were not enough to counteract the prevailing risk aversion.<\/p>\n<p>Among the Dow&#39;s 30 components, several stocks managed to post gains despite the broader market decline. The biggest gainers included <strong>Disney<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/DIS\">DIS<\/a>), rising <strong>1.95%<\/strong>, <strong>Nike<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/NKE\">NKE<\/a>) up <strong>1.76%<\/strong>, and <strong>Salesforce<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>) increasing <strong>1.60%<\/strong>. Other notable advancers were <strong>Home Depot<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/HD\">HD<\/a>), climbing <strong>1.47%<\/strong>, and <strong>Chevron<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/CVX\">CVX<\/a>), which gained <strong>1.36%<\/strong>. Conversely, the day&#39;s biggest losers included <strong>McDonald&#39;s<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/MCD\">MCD<\/a>), falling <strong>-1.87%<\/strong>, <strong>Amgen<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMGN\">AMGN<\/a>) down <strong>-1.86%<\/strong>, and <strong>Merck<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/MRK\">MRK<\/a>) declining <strong>-1.65%<\/strong>. <strong>Goldman Sachs<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/GS\">GS<\/a>) dropped <strong>-1.38%<\/strong>, and <strong>Coca-Cola<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/KO\">KO<\/a>) was down <strong>-1.33%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was down 209.47 (-0.4390%) points today, as U.S. equities pulled back to start
