U.S. stock market closed lower on Thursday as rising bond yields weighed on the market, while investors kept a close eye on U.S. corporate earnings and economic data.  

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that the Fed would be ready to tighten monetary policy decisively when necessary. 

The rise in U.S. Treasury yields exerted pressure on stocks, with the 10-year Treasury yield increasing by 12.8 basis points to 4.636%, reaching a high of 4.654% during the trading session.  

The primary reason for the increase in U.S. Treasury yields was Fed Chairman Powell’s reiteration of a hawkish stance during his speech on Thursday. 

Speaking at an expert panel meeting at the IMF, Powell emphasized that the Federal Reserve would “proceed cautiously” and would not hesitate to raise interest rates when deemed appropriate.  

He noted that concerns about strong growth could jeopardize the process of slowing inflation, necessitating a response from monetary policy.
