Wall Street wrapped up a turbulent week with a subdued finish on Friday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined for a third consecutive week while the Nasdaq composite posted modest gains. The markets were dominated by calls from AI leaders for slower growth, the 10-year Treasury yield climbing to 5%, and the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in three years.

A volatile week that battered Wall Street with relentless headlines ended with a whimper.

AI leaders called for a slowdown, the 10-year Treasury yield hit 5% and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years.
