• The 10-year Treasury yield rose 8.2 basis points to 3.037%
Despite rising higher on Monday, US stocks trimmed earlier gains after the 10-year Treasury yield breached 3% ahead of the next big inflation report later this week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average crawled upwards by 16.08 points, or less than 0.1%, at 32,915.78 after periodically dipping into negative territory. The S&P 500 was up by 12.89 points, or 0.3%, at 4,121.43, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 48.64 points, or 0.4%, to end at 12,061.37.
The CPI reading for May is expected to be just slightly cooler than April, which could be interpreted by some as a confirmation that inflation has peaked.
The 10-year Treasury yield rose 8.2 basis points to 3.037% as investors await May’s consumer-price index report on Friday.
