U.S. futures mixed as more signs of inflation fuel rate fears

The S&P 500 was 0.3% lower in early trading and on track for a third straight fall. The Nasdaq composite was also down, 0.6% lower, as another rise in yields in the bond market added more pressure on technology and high-growth stocks in particular.

While that's good news for workers and the overall economy in the near term because it indicates layoffs are low across the country, the fear is that a too-strong jobs market could add upward pressure to inflation. It's the latest piece of data to show that the overall economy, as well as inflation, are staying stronger and higher than expected.

The swing has been clear in the bond market, where Treasury yields have shot higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.06% from 4.00% late Wednesday and from less than 3.40% earlier this year. It helps set rates for mortgages and other loans that shape the economy, and it's near its highest level since November.
