The <strong>Dow Futures (YM=F)<\/strong> also signaled broader market weakness, as it was down <strong>459.00 (-0.9614%)<\/strong> points today. The primary narrative driving the market was the fear that the <strong>Federal Reserve<\/strong> will maintain high interest rates through the summer. This sudden shift in policy expectations triggered a broad sell-off in financial and industrial stocks, as the <strong>10-year Treasury yield<\/strong> surged to multi-month highs.<\/p>\n<p>Energy stocks bucked the downward trend, led by <strong>Chevron (<a href=\"\/stock\/CVX\">CVX<\/a>)<\/strong>, which rose <strong>1.68%<\/strong> to <strong>$189.54<\/strong> on rising global oil prices. <strong>Amgen (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMGN\">AMGN<\/a>)<\/strong> gained <strong>0.62%<\/strong>, while <strong>Cisco (<a href=\"\/stock\/CSCO\">CSCO<\/a>)<\/strong> and <strong>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>)<\/strong> both edged up <strong>0.39%<\/strong>. <strong>UnitedHealth Group (<a href=\"\/stock\/UNH\">UNH<\/a>)<\/strong> remained nearly flat, rising just <strong>0.09%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, <strong>Goldman Sachs (<a href=\"\/stock\/GS\">GS<\/a>)<\/strong> was the biggest loser, dropping <strong>2.45%<\/strong> to <strong>$814.68<\/strong> as higher rates threatened investment banking margins. <strong>Sherwin-Williams (<a href=\"\/stock\/SHW\">SHW<\/a>)<\/strong> fell <strong>2.19%<\/strong>, and consumer staple giant <strong>Procter &amp; Gamble (<a href=\"\/stock\/PG\">PG<\/a>)<\/strong> declined <strong>2.08%<\/strong> to <strong>$152.79<\/strong>.
