U. S. stocks lost ground last week after comments from the Federal Reserve caused the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond to rise to a 14-month high.
New $1.9 trillion stimulus, benign inflation, and adequate demand for bonds auctioned by the U. S. Treasury helped U. S. stocks set new highs last week.
U. S. stocks were mixed. The S&P 500 advanced 0.9%, helped by rising prices of value stocks. The NASDAQ Composite index fell 2.1% as growth stocks declined.
Bond yields spiked on strong economic data and rising inflation expectations. The S&P 500 fell in response, recording its first losing week in February.
U. S. stocks closed the week at a record high on the prospect of additional Congressional aid amidst strong corporate profits.
