US stocks surged on Monday after suffering their worst decline in months the prior week. Then inflation fears and spiking bond yields spooked investors anew as Fed Chair Jerome Powell failed to calm nerves. The tides turned again on Friday as anxious dip-buyers quickly pulled tech stocks back out of correction following a monster jobs report that nearly doubled forecasts. Now it's anyone's guess where the market heads next week. The volatility is stemming at least partially from uncertainty around how signs of economic progress should be interpreted. On one hand, encouraging labor-market data should have investors excited about the prospect of increased consumer spending. But on the flip side, an economy that runs too hot risks runaway inflation — the sort of thing addressed by higher interest rates. And when rates rise, stocks lose luster. It's quite the catch-22. What made this past week so unique was how wildly sentiment swung from "bad news is good news" to "good news is good news," often in the same day. Whichever camp investors decide on will largely dictate market action in the near term. And the main inputs for that will continue to be economic data, Fed comments, and stimulus progress. Stay tuned. The US stock market was whipsawed last week by fluctuating expectations for post-stimulus inflation. Tech stocks fell into correction territory and one point before rallying into the weekend. It was the type of environment that creates opportunities for well-prepared investors. In response to the volatility, UBS detailed 3 ways investors can take advantage of the swings.
