U.S. equities came under renewed pressure on Thursday morning, with the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) falling 0.8% at the open to trade near 6,570, slipping below its closely watched 200-day moving average for the first time in 10 months. The breach marks a notable technical shift, as the index has not closed beneath this level since May 9, 2025, and had only briefly dipped below it on an intraday basis back on May 23, 2025. The decline follows a sharp rise in Treasury yields across the curve, driven by the Federal Reserve’s decision on Wednesday to hold interest rates steady, reinforcing a higher-for-longer policy outlook. During Thursday’s session, the S&P 500 also touched an intraday low of 6,557.82, its weakest level since November 21, signaling mounting downside momentum in the broader market.
