Your weekly outlook This past week featured more tug-of-war in the stock and bond markets between fears of runaway inflation and confidence in the economic recovery. The highlight of the week was Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference as part of the central bank's rate decision, which seemingly soothed investor nerves and caused stocks to surge into the close. Then the next day everyone seemed to get cold feet. The 10-year Treasury yield spiked yet again to a more than one-year high, signaling renewed inflation fears.

The input to watch this week will once again be the 10-year yield, which has become the foremost indicator of inflation fears. It's the highest since January 2020 right now.
