The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) closed at $529.60 on December 26, down 0.07% as rising Treasury yields and a crypto sell-off pressured the Nasdaq 100. The Nasdaq 100 index fell 0.13% to 21,768.31, driven by a 4.64% increase in 10-year Treasury yields, which hit their highest level since May. This rise in yields weighed heavily on growth and tech stocks, with Amazon and Meta dropping 0.8% and 1%, respectively. The crypto market also experienced a downturn, with Bitcoin ETFs falling up to 4.6%, mirroring Bitcoin's 2.6% decline. The broader market faced headwinds from profit-taking and light holiday trading volumes, amplifying the impact of negative news. Jobless claims rose to 1.91 million, the highest since November 2021, signaling potential labor market softening and adding to the cautious sentiment.
