    Amazon Stock Surge Boosts Wall Street Despite Inflation Concerns

    Wall Street closed July with mixed results, as Amazon's strong earnings report pushed stocks higher despite lingering inflation concerns and rising bond yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.53% to close at 52,485.03, while the S&P 500 rose 0.7% to 7,489.72, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added 1% to 25,373.85. The gains came despite yields on 30-year and 10-year U.S. government bonds reaching their highest levels since 2007 and January 2025, respectively. Investors' doubts about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's commitment to fighting inflation also weighed on markets. Apple shares fell more than 7% after the company's earnings report, while Amazon stocks surged 15%.
