Investors were treading carefully as the US 10-year yield nudged 5%, with more earnings and a speech by the Fed's Jerome Powell in focus.

) closed in on reaching 5% for the first time in 16 years, while the 2-year yield — seen as a guide to interest-rate expectations — jumped to its highest since 2006 around 5.24%., signaling that the Fed intends to keep moving forward on its rate-hiking path as economic growth remains strong.

He acknowledged that shorter-term measures of core inflation — inflation measures that strip out volatile food and energy prices — over the most recent three and six months are now running below 3%.

For El-Erian, Fed policy is no longer an anchor."It's too backward-looking," he said."So this is really a hard time for the bond market. And we need stability. We desperately need stability."
