Retail sales were the latest sign of a strong economy, as a consumer slowdown remained nowhere in sight.

Stocks once again turned negative in late afternoon trading on Tuesday after the major indices initially reversed early morning losses. The volatile moves comes after retail sales data smashed expectations and earnings season picked up steam.The 10-year Treasury yield continued to soar, up about 14 basis points to trade around 4.85%. The 10-year yield hit a 16-year high of 4.89% on Oct. 6.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has noted in the past that a stronger US economy could mean more Fed rate hikes. But that shifted on Tuesday. Markets are now pricing in a roughly 40% chance that the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates at its December meeting, up from a 25% chance just a week ago,Stocks opened lower after the report too, while bond yields rose. The 10-year Treasury yield breached 4.85%, its highest level in more than a week and just off its 16-year highs.

US Commerce secretary Gina Raimondo said the goal is to curb China’s access to"advanced semiconductors that could fuel breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and sophisticated computers that are critical to military applications.", as the second-largest US bank got a boost from higher interest income and a strong performance from its Wall Street unit.

Its earnings were $2.06 billion, down 33% from $3.07 billion a year ago. That result was affected by a $506 million write-down on GreenSky, a specialty lender it agreed to sell, and $358 million in impairments on real estate investments.The American consumer keeps surprising Wall Street.
