U.S. Treasury yields were trading at three-month highs, pressuring stocksas markets reassess the size of interest-rate cuts over the next several months against the backdrop of strong economic data.
"When you get a 10-year Treasury at a four and a quarter, it pushes back on the rally in the stock market. Things start to slow down... and people get a little bit nervous," said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth.
"The market has done extremely well in a really short period of time... off the recent lows. That has something to do with it (the declines) as well."
Investors are pricing in about two rate cuts by the end of 2024, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Earnings were in focus, with StarbucksSBUX.O down 3.6% in premarket trading afterthe company suspended its annual forecast on Tuesday and reported revenue and profit declines in preliminary fourth-quarter results.
Coca-Cola KO.N dipped 2.2% after the company reiterated its annual profit growth forecast despite expecting higher revenue, as demand for its sodas and juices increased in the U.S.
Meanwhile, shares of troubled planemaker Boeing BA.N were last down 1% in choppy trading after the company reported a quarterly loss of $6 billion, due to a crippling strike. Factory workers will vote later in the day on a new contract proposal that could end the more than five-week-long standoff.

Of around 21% of S&P 500 companies that have reported so far, 82% exceeded earnings estimates, according to LSEG data.
