Overnight themes:
- Wall Street's main indices end mixed as investors rotate out of megacap tech giants into blue-chips and small caps ahead of next week's risk events (interest rates, inflation).
- The Nasdaq and S&P 500 fall further from multi-month highs as treasury yields rise. The Dow edges higher as gains in Caterpillar, 3M and Goldman help offset falls in Microsoft and Apple.
- Treasury yields climb as the odds on rates pause next week fall to 69% from 77% after the Bank of Canada hikes rates.
- The Russell 2000 index of small caps climbs 1.78% to a three-month high.
- "Over the past week, we've seen a pretty dramatic outperformance of small caps relative to large caps" - Paul Baiocchi, chief ETF strategist at SS&C ALPS Advisors.
- Energy, real estate and utilities all gain at least 1.7%. Growth sectors decline.
