Why Americas closed broadly down
Small-Cap Earnings

Weak earnings from key Russell 2000 companies led to a decline in small-cap stocks.

Rising Bond Yields

Higher US 10-year yields weighed on interest-sensitive sectors like utilities and real estate.

Oil Price Drop

Lower Brent crude prices hurt energy stocks, reducing demand in oil-related industries.
