A renewed slide in tech megacaps and mixed economic data left stocks struggling for direction on Friday. Bond yields rose.

In a choppy trading session, the S&P 500 closed at a one-month low with a drop of just 0.1%. The Nasdaq 100 notched its longest weekly losing streak this year, hovering around 15,000. It last finished below that mark in June. Nvidia Corp. — which has more than tripled in 2023 — extended a four-day decline to 10%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a mild gain.
