A rally in 10-year government bonds means one thing: the stock market is going nowhere fast

A rally in the 10-year Treasury note, driving yields lower, Tuesday is implying that investors are picking up long-dated bonds, perceived as havens, in favor of stocks. The 10-year Treasury yield hit a nadir around 2.79% during Tuesday's action, representing the lowest closing yield since Feb. 6, according to WSJ Market Data Group (based on 3 p.m. ET closes). Bond prices rise as yields fall. Bond buying comes even as the market has been digesting some $300 billion in issuance slated for this holiday-shortened week for the fixed-income market, with Good Friday marking a holiday for the market. More issuance should drive yields higher, in theory. Meanwhile, the equity benchmarks unraveled, notably the Nasdaq Composite Index ended the day off 2.9%, cutting deeply into the technology-laden index's 3.3% return on Monday. The S&P 500 index closed down 1.7% at 2,612, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average , made up of 30 components, ended down 1.4%, led by sharp slumps in shares of Apple Inc. and Microsoft Inc. . Much of Monday's rise was attributed to a lessening of worries around trade conflicts between the U.S. and China, but Tuesday's trade suggests that investors are more eager to buy long-dated bond than make a definitive wager on another blockbuster day for technology shares and the broader stock market, considered risky, after the Dow's 670-point surge a day earlier.

Dow falls more than 300 points in latest day of heavy downside volatility

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower on Tuesday, ending a volatility session near the lows of the day as technology and financial stocks saw particular weakness. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 344 points, or 1.4%, to 23,859. The S&P 500 sank 46 points, or 1.7%, to 2,613. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 212 points to 7,009, a decline of 2.9%. Tuesday represented the biggest one-day percentage decline for both the Dow and the Nasdaq since Feb. 8, but only the biggest for the S&P since Friday. The day's losses were widespread, with seven of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors down on the day, though tech and financials were by far the biggest losers. Tech shares fell 3.4% in their biggest one-day decline in about six weeks, while financials shed 1.9%. Recent trading has been pronounced to the downside; major indexes have dropped in four of the past five sessions, although the only positive day -- Monday -- was the best day for the indexes since August 2015. Among the most notable decliners on Tuesday, Microsoft Corp. fell 4.6% while Apple Inc. was down 2.6%. On the upside, General Electric Co. gained 4.3%, rebounding off its lowest level since 2009.

Tech sector on track for worst session in more than six weeks

The technology sector tumbled on Tuesday, dropping as the biggest decliner among S&P 500 sectors and leading the overall market lower. The sector sank 3.5%, dropping in what was set to be its biggest one-day decline since Feb. 8. While the group is one of only two industries to be positive for 2018 -- it is up 1.8% on the year, behind only the 2.4% gain of consumer-discretionary stocks -- it has struggled of late. The sector has dropped in eight of the past 11 sessions, and two of those positive sessions were gains of less than 0.1%. Thus far this month, it is down 5.3%, the second-worst performer behind financials. Among the biggest drags in the tech sector, Apple Inc. fell 2.9% while Microsoft Corp. was off 4.6%. Both are coming off sharp rallies in the previous session, including Microsoft's best one-day pop since 2015. Semiconductor stocks also weighed on the group, with Nvidia Corp. off 9.5% and Advanced Micro Devices down 5.1%.

Dow's 400-point tumble, driven by Microsoft, Apple, Goldman's stock tumbles

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off more than 400 points in late-Tuesday afternoon trade, as shares of Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. , among the leaders of Monday's surge, came under heavy selling pressure. Along with shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. , those Dow components were exacting a roughly 110-point toll on the price-weighted blue-chip average. The technology sector was being buffeted the most, with the exchange-traded Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF trading down 2.4% on the day. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was off 3.4%. Most recently, the Dow was down about 444 points, or 1.7%, at 23,784, while the S&P 500 index was 2.1% lower at 2,602.

U.S. stocks extend losses; S&P 500 down 2%, Nasdaq off 3%

U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday, extending their losses throughout the session as technology and financial shares led the market lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.7% while the S&P 500 was off 2.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index shed 3.4% in its biggest one-day drop since early February. The day's losses were led by the tech sector, which fell 3.6%, and by financials, off 2.1%. The session was the latest example of heavy volatility on Wall Street; Monday's session represented the biggest one-day percentage gain for the major indexes since August 2015, and the indexes are coming off their worst week in about two years. The day's losses were broad based, with only four of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors in positive territory. The gains were led by defensive sectors, with utility stocks up 1.7% and telecommunications up 0.8%.
