Yields on 10-year Treasury yields have surged well above 4%. With both stock valuations and interest rates high, stock prices could continue to fall. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes surged to 15-year highs this week, surpassing 4.3% for the first time since late 2007. This has put a damper on what was a 20% rally for the S&P 500 from January to the end of July. The median S&P 500 year-end price target among major Wall Street strategists is 4,300, just below the index's current price around 4,370.

In one of the best Prime Day deals, the 13-inch version of the 2020 MacBook Air remains available for $749.99 at Amazon — an all-time low price and a $250 discount. We once named the 2020 MacBook Air one of the best laptops you can buy, and it's an unbeatable deal with this significant Prime Day markdown. But this deal will only last a few more hours, as Prime Day exclusives end tonight. Apple still sells the M1 MacBook Air in a new condition alongside the newer MacBook Air models that run on the more powerful M2 chip, which is a testament to the M1 MacBook Air's sustained power as a notebook, nearly three years after its release. At $250 off the laptop's $1,000 list price, an all-time low price point for this model, Amazon's Prime Day deal on the 13-inch M1 MacBook Air is an exceptional value for an older laptop that will provide years of use.
