Good MorningEquities markets fell on Wednesday as bond yields come back into focus. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose more than 5 basis points to close at the second-highest level in over a year as investors continue to bet on rising inflation. The rise in the bond yield implies the FOMC will have to alter policy sooner rather than later and that could be a bad thing for the stock market. A more hawkish FOMC outlook could crimp the growth outlook and would likely spark profit-taking if not a deeper correction.
In economic news, both the ISM Services index and the ADP Employment figures were below expectation. The ADP figure showed jobs were gained in February but a lower rate than was expected. The ISM data shows the services sector continues to grow but also at a slower rate than was expected.
