Live news: US stocks close lower on weak Treasury auction

U.S. stocks and bond prices fell on Thursday amid disappointing inflation data and weak government bond auctions.

When prices fell, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.1 percentage point to 4.70%.

The sell-off began after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported higher-than-expected inflation in September and continued after the Treasury Department announced weak demand at its latest long-term bond auction.

Stocks, which had been strong after the initial inflation report, were lower in the afternoon as the bond sell-off gathered pace. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both ended the day down 0.6%.
