US Equity Indexes Mixed, Treasury Yields Fall in Midday Trading

BY MT Newswires | TREASURY | 02/10/26 12:41 PM EST

12:41 PM EST, 02/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity indexes traded mixed while government bond yields declined in midday trading on Tuesday as investors weighed an unexpected pause in December retail sales.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.6% to 50,431.8, after scaling a new peak of 50,512.79, according to data compiled by CNBC. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% to 6,975.1 while the Nasdaq Composite was steady at 23,245.5.

Utilities and materials led the top gainers, while communication services and consumer staples were among the decliners.

US retail sales unexpectedly held steady in December, the Census Bureau said Tuesday, as consumers appeared to pull back on spending at the end of 2025 after kicking the holiday season off at a strong pace. A flat reading compares with the Bloomberg-compiled consensus that called for a 0.4% rise. The pace of increase in November was left unrevised at 0.6%, the Census Bureau said.

Most US Treasury yields fell, with the two-year lower by 3.3 basis points to 3.45%, and the 10-year rate dropped 5.1 basis points 4.15%.

In company news, Datadog (DDOG) shares surged 16% after the company reported Q4 adjusted earnings and revenue above market expectations.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
