Constellium, Amazon and Community Health Systems led the decliners at -7.8%, -5.6% and -5.5%, respectively.

Boeing lost 2.5%.

Lockheed Martin and Target tied for top gainer at 1.5%.

Overall, Wall Street fell sharply Wednesday, dropping back to where it was in May, after rising bond yields tightened their chokehold and some of the market’s most influential companies turned in mixed profit reports.
