The S&P 500 ended 2.4% higher on Monday, its best day since June as markets cheered approval of a third COVID-19 vaccine in the United States and the U.S. House of Representatives' green light for a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The U.S. Senate will start debating President Joe Biden's relief bill this week when Democrats aim to pass the legislation through a maneuver known as "reconciliation," which would allow the bill to pass with a simple majority.urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL2N2KZ10A "Markets are reacting to the huge positive spike in the previous session, while investors are wondering if good news is bad news over concerns of higher inflation due to huge government spending plans," said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in New York. At 8:20 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis1YMcv1 were down 43 points, or 0.14% and S&P 500 E-minisEScv1 were down 6 points, or 0.15%. Nasdaq 100 E-minisNQcv1 were down 16.25 points, or 0.12%. The U.S. bond market has stabilized since a selloff sent the benchmark 10-year Treasury yieldUS10YT=RR to a one-year high last week, but continue to remain elevated, sparking fears over high valuations in the stock market and emerging as a competitive alternative to equities. Later in the week, investors will focus on ISM's service sector survey as well as the monthly U.S. jobs report to ascertain the economic health.
