This was the stock's second consecutive day of losses.

All three major U.S. stock market indexes rose Monday afternoon, following an earlier selloff sparked by long-dated Treasury yields surpassing the 5% mark after the financial ratings agency Moody’s downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating late last week, citing rising debt and interest payment ratios.

U.S. stocks finished near the unchanged mark on Monday with market sentiment weakened by the downgrade of the federal government's perfect sovereign credit rating owing to its huge debt profile.

The S&P 500 recently flashed a technical sell signal, Bank of America said, which can suggest a near-term drop in stock prices.

A dip in the stock market caused by the Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. debt should be bought, according to a once-pessimistic and now seemingly bullish strategist.

The debt downgrade is raising concerns that investors could reevaluate their appetite for U.S. government bonds, with the potential for rising yields.

US stocks managed to eke out gains on Monday as bond yields eased off bigger gains and Wall Street largely shrugged off Moody's downgrade of the US credit rating. Meanwhile, investors digested developments in President Trump's tariff salvos.

For a minute there, it looked like the “Sell America” trade was poised to make a comeback on Monday after Moody’s decided to strip the U.S. of its top-tier credit rating late Friday.
