Good MorningThe equities market ended a good week on mixed footing Friday with blue-chips leading the day and tech shares lagging. The yield on the ten-year treasury is largely to blame rising to a new high above 1.60%. With the yield on the ten-year rising, investors should expect volatility to continue. Selling will be heaviest in over-valued names with lower than average yields and lightest in stocks that present value and Treasury-beating yields.
This week investors should be on the lookout for a slew of data including retail sales, business inventories, the home builders index, and key reads on the manufacturing sector. With the economy expected to fully reopen soon the expectations for good data are high. Along with the data are the last of the Q4 earnings reports including eCommerce leader Williams Sonoma and labor-market bellwether Cintas.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
