Ten of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors declined in morning trade. Energy outperformed with a 1.1% gain as Brent crude climbed above $120 a barrel af- ter the European Union agreed to a partial ban on Russian oil. [O/R] Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday the U.S. central bank should be prepared to raise rates by a half percent- age point at every meeting from now on until inflation is deci- sively curbed. Waller's comments sparked a sell-off in bond markets, with the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbing to a one-week high, as traders scaled down expectations that the Fed might pause for breath after hikes in June and July. [US/] "We haven't seen a genuine peak in inflation yet," said Max Kettner, chief multi-asset strat- egist at HSBC. "In the U.S., it's a peak technically, but it's much more about the composi- tion of inflation in the next few months." Biden said the Fed has a pri- mary responsibility to control inflation and vowed not to seek "to influence its decisions inap- propriately" ahead of a meet- ing with the central bank chief, scheduled at 1:15 p.m. (1715 GMT). Last week, all the three ma- jor U.S. indexes snapped their longest weekly losing streak in decades as signs of inflation peaking and consumer resilien- cy brought back buyers into the market. Still, they were on track to decline for a second straight month, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq down 2.8%, as high- growth stocks tend to under- perform when interest rates rise. "Sentiment had become very downbeat, and that was behind the rally from the last week and a half ... From a fundamental perspective, there are too many headwinds," Kettner said. Data showed U.S. consumer confidence slipped in May on persistent concerns over high inflation.
