On Monday, January 13th, U.S. markets closed with mixed results. The Nasdaq declined, while the S&P 500 gained slightly after bouncing off a recent low. Elevated Treasury yields, persistent inflation concerns, resilient economic data, and Federal Reserve comments created headwinds, challenging both stock and bond markets.

Economic data showed that U.S. consumer inflation expectations for the next year remained steady at 3% in December, unchanged from the previous month.

Most S&P 500 sectors ended higher, led by energy, materials, and healthcare, while utilities and information technology declined.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.83% and closed at 42,297.12, the S&P 500 closed higher by 0.16% at 5,836.22, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.38% to finish at 19,088.10.
