The yield on the benchmark 10-year note US10YT=RR rose as high as 4.222%, continuing a steady climb since early October, after a bumper jobs report led investors to dial back expectations for the central bank toease interest rates throughthe year.
Rate-sensitive megacap stocks slipped, with Apple AAPL.O falling 1.2% and Nvidia NVDA.O down 0.5%, weighing on the broader tech sector .SPLRCT, which lost 0.3%.
Consumer Discretionary shares .SPLRCD were bogged down by a 1% and 0.6% decline in Tesla TSLA.O and Amazon.com AMZN.O, respectively.
Stocks retreated from record highs on Monday as investors took a breather following six consecutive weeks of advances for major indexes, even as gains in Nvidia helped the Nasdaq edge higher.
"We set all these new highs with a sense of nervousness. That's for three primary reasons: a lot of conflicts around the world at the moment, the Fed and what they're going to do next and the election... (have) people a bit more unsure of what's next," said J.J. Kinahan, CEO, IG Group North America.
The next few weeks are likely to be volatile for equity markets, as investors scrutinize company earnings, fresh economic data and the results of the U.S. election, followed by a central bank meeting.
Traders are pricing in an 89.6% chance of a 25-basis-point interest-rate cut in November, according to CME's FedWatch.
GE Aerospace GE.N fell 6.3% despite raising its profit forecast for 2024, as persistent supply constraints impacted its revenue, highlighting the difficulty some companies may face in trying to impress investors this year.
