The S&P 500 closed just barely lower Tuesday after flipping between small gains and losses through the day. The Dow added 13 points, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.3%. Treasury yields rose in the bond market after a report showed shoppers spent more at U.S. retailers last month than expected. That’s a sign of a healthy economy, but it may also indicate upward pressure on inflation and could push the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates high.

That’s a sign of a healthy economy and likely a result of a still-solid job market, which should help to support profits at companies. Treasury yields in the bond market rose after the release of the report. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.84% from 4.69% late Monday.
