U.S. Stocks Fluctuate Near Record; Yields Rise : Markets Wrap


(Bloomberg) — U.S. equities fluctuated near record highs and Treasury yields rose as investors weighed inflation risks and the potential impact of a minimum corporate tax that could enable foreign governments to impose levies on big American companies.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was little changed after briefly climbing above its May 7 closing record, and the S&P 500 swung between small gains and losses, trading within whisker of its all-time high. Losses in megacap tech stocks including Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc. weighed on the Nasdaq 100. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields rose from the lowest since late April after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Sunday a slightly higher interest-rate environment would be a plus.

While resurgent inflation has sparked a debate about when the Federal Reserve will start tapering stimulus, recent data including Friday’s payrolls report seemed to vindicate the central bank’s dovish stance. Investors are trying to strike a balance between preparing for higher rates and riding a risk-on rally underpinned by Fed largesse and Washington’s $4 trillion spending plan. The U.S. consumer-price index report due Thursday will provide more clues.

“The slightly softer-than-expected rise in U.S. payroll employment in May probably won’t change the Fed’s thinking, but another pickup in CPI inflation likely to be reported on Thursday will further spur the taper talk,” Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital, wrote in a note.

Yellen said President Joe Biden should push forward with his spending plans even if they spark inflation that persists into next year. Meanwhile, the Group of Seven rich nations secured a landmark deal that could help countries collect more taxes from big firms and enable governments to impose levies on U.S. giants such as Amazon and Facebook.

Underperformance by the tech-heavy Nasdaq index suggested investors were looking beyond pure growth narratives to sustain gains. European stocks advanced, with carmakers and consumer-products companies outperforming.

Biogen Inc. rallied as the Food and Drug Administration was set to decide on Monday if its Alzheimer’s drug will be approved. Tesla fell after Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk tweeted on Sunday the Model S Plaid+ will be canceled.

Bitcoin rebounded above $36,000 after a roller-coaster ride over the weekend amid a cryptocurrency crackdown in China.
