Market edges higher despite mixed forces and rising bond yields.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq inched up over the last hour, reversing their earlier modest declines. Technology and Health Care led, while Energy and Materials lagged. AI infrastructure investment continued to drive the market, but rising bond yields remained a counterforce.
Why it mattered: This hour shows the market's resilience despite conflicting forces, indicating a potentially fragile balance.
