U.S. equities were flat on Monday, as U.S. Treasury yields reversed and climbed higher, and investors awaited quarterly reports from big retailers later in the week.

The S&P 500 was unchanged, ending the session at 4,682.80. 

U.S. stock index futures were little changed in early morning trading Tuesday, after the major averages started the week with muted moves as investors digested a jump in yields.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.04%, falling to 15,853.85 as Treasury yields rose.

Stocks’ move came as interest rates rose, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note topping 1.62% while the 30-bear Treasury bond rose above 2%.

Inflation fears are weighing on the market after last month’s consumer price index posted its largest annual increase in more than three decades. 

A slew of economic data will be released on Tuesday, including retail sales figures for October. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones are expecting sales to have jumped by 1.5% last month, compared with 0.7% in September. Industrial production numbers will also be released, as well as the NAHB housing market index survey.
