What will drive the markets this week?
Stocks ended mixed last week, with a slump in technology stocks and a rise in bond yields, as investors moved their money from growth to cyclical stocks of companies that would benefit from reopening and stronger economic growth this year. This week investors will be looking at the upcoming fiscal stimulus, and annoouncements from the Fed and other central banks as well as February retail sales. Investors will also closely monitor the movement of the US Treasury Bond yields amid worries of a commodity rally that could result in inflation.
