Good MorningEquities ended the last week on mixed footing following a round of mixed economic data and a spike in U.S. bond rates. On the economic front, reads on the consumer, manufacturing, and housing were all weaker than expected although most were positive for the month. The data casts a shadow on the economic reopening and has the market set up for losses should the trend continue. In regards to bonds, the yield on the 10-year treasury pulled back from its high on Friday but remains elevated on track to post new highs this week.
This week’s action will be dominated by economic data and news out of Washington. There is a slew of important data points due out this week including the monthly read on core consumer inflation. Core inflation has been edging higher over the past few months and is expected to have edged higher again in February. The risk is that inflation will rise quicker than the market can digest and renew fears of FOMC tightening.
