What happened

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street.

Why it matters

Stocks pulled back on Friday, but the S & P 500 is still on pace for its seventh straight positive week.

Common ground

The market moved lower in response to a huge bond selloff, which pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to roughly 4.6%.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
