The U.S. stock market closed with losses on Thursday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled over 230 points, ending its impressive 14-day winning streak.  

Concerns over soaring yields of 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds, which crossed the 4% mark, coupled with unexpectedly robust GDP data, intensified concerns about the Federal Reserve’s need to maintain higher interest rates for an extended period to curb inflation.
