GameStop Corp GME shares are trading lower Monday alongside several other stocks in the broader consumer discretionary sector amid overall market weakness as a rise in bond yields weighs on stocks.
The U.S. 10-Year Treasury note reached new three-year highs last week before pulling back. It's moving higher again Monday, hovering around 2.858% at time of publication. The strength comes as investors continue to assess inflationary pressures.
Investors are also preparing to assess the financial impact stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a large number of companies are set to report earnings this week.
Twitter philanthropist Bill Pulte also announced that he purchased 430 shares of GameStop Monday for $61,490.
