U.S. Markets: U.S. stocks fell sharply as inflation fears intensified and short-term bond yields reached their highest levels since 2007 (right before the onset of the Great Financial Crisis). The S&P 500 Index recorded its largest weekly drop since mid-June, hitting its lowest point on an intraday basis since mid-July. Growth stocks and tech fared the worst with the technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite falling 5.5% to 11,448.

U.S. Markets: U.S. Stocks broke their string of three consecutive weekly losses as investors appeared to grow more confident that the market had reached at least a temporary bottom.  Some indications that inflation may be moderating likely also played a part.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 833 points finishing the week at 32,152—a gain of 2.7%.  The technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite retraced almost all of last week’s decline rising 4.1%.  By market cap, the large cap S&P 500 added 3.6%, while the mid cap S&P 400 and small cap Russell 2000 finished the week up 4.4% and 4.0% respectively.
