U.S. stocks fell Tuesday as major technology shares came under pressure again after the 10-year Treasury yield touched its highest level since January 2020.

The S&P 500 slid 0.3% to 3,958.55, led by losses in consumer staples and technology. 

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 6 basis points to top 1.77% earlier Tuesday, hitting its highest level in 14 months as vaccine rollouts and expected infrastructure spending boosted the outlook for a broad economic recovery and rising inflation. The benchmark rate later turned flat at 1.72%.

Investors digested a reading on consumer confidence that far exceeded expectations. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index surged in March to 109.7, its highest reading in a year. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected the index to rise to 96.8 from 90.4 in February.

Despite the recent volatility, the Dow and S&P 500 are firmly higher for the month, gaining 6.9% and 3.9%, respectively.

President Joe Biden is expected to provide details about his infrastructure plan when he travels to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The spending package could cost north of $3 trillion.

Plan B : Long if market retraced but supported firm above 3928. Targets are 3943, 3959 and 3977.

U.S. stock futures were flat in early morning trading on Wednesday after the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped from its record level amid fears about rising interest rates.

The Nasdaq Composite dipped about 0.1% as Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Microsoft declined. Big Tech stocks are especially sensitive to rising rates as they depend on borrowing money cheaply to invest in their future growth.

Investors are awaiting details on President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan on Wednesday. The spending package could cost more than of $3 trillion.

Private payroll data from ADP will be released at 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Economists polled by Dow Jones are expecting 525,000 private jobs were added in March, well above the 171,000 added in February.
