Wall Street ended the week with a mixed performance as traders await the Federal Reserve's next move.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 169 points, while the Nasdaq lost 71 points.

This was due to the U.S. 10-year yield rising above the 3.74% mark. The situation in Hong Kong was similar, with the Hang Seng Index declining by 434 points due to a combination of China's economic recovery and the ongoing U.S.-China tension that raised concerns of new sanctions on Chinese tech companies.
