Nasdaq Hits Record High, Extends Weekly Streak To 7

The S&P 500 and Dow both snapped their six-week win streaks, succumbing to this week's pressure from rising Treasury yields, though the bond market has since cooled off. The blue-chip index closed 259 points lower, reversing its early-morning pop for its fifth-straight daily loss. The tech-heavy Nasdaq hit record highs today, however, notching a triple-digit gain and seventh consecutive weekly win -- its longest streak since December.
