Good MorningU.S. stocks ended mixed on Tuesday, paring earlier gains as weakness in technology stocks offset gains made in energy, materials, and financials as investors continue to monitor inflation fears. Treasury yields ticked up as the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield hovered above 1.6%. Investors are waiting to receive a number of new economic data reports about the U.S. labor market, including the May jobs report on Friday, as it signals whether the economy is getting closer to the Federal Reserve's goal of achieving maximum employment before pulling back on monetary policy support.
Economists expect to see about 674,000 jobs created in May, after the much fewer-than-expected 266,000 jobs added in April. Most agree inflation is upon us, while there seems to be some disagreement on the duration and the extent of higher prices. Higher prices, the result of supply shortages, and recovering demand could force the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates and curb asset purchases sooner and you can expect the market to react should that occur.
