The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) fell as long-term bond yields rose due to inflation concerns. The 30-year Treasury yield reached 5.17%, the highest since April 2007. A Bank of America survey indicated 66% of fund managers expect yields to exceed 6% in the next year. Higher yields typically deter equity investment. Alphabet's stock declined despite announcing 900 million monthly users for Gemini. Micron's price target was raised significantly, while Nvidia is expected to report strong earnings.
