Audio By Carbonatix

U.S. stocks gave back some of last week’s rally, as bitcoin and other former stars of Wall Street fell again.

The S&P 500 lost 0.5% Monday, breaking a five-day winning streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.4%.

Crypto-related stocks sank to some of the sharpest losses after bitcoin dropped below $86,000. Stock prices also broadly felt pressure from rising yields in the bond market. Treasury yields climbed along with yields worldwide after the head of the Bank of Japan hinted at a hike to interest rates there.

The S&P 500 fell 36.46 points, or 0.5%, to 6,812.63.

The Nasdaq composite fell 89.76 points, or 0.4%, to 23,275.92.
