US stocks dipped on Friday as investors brace for a more hawkish Federal Reserve after key inflation data for January came in hotter than expected.
Core Personal Consumption Expenditure data, the central bank's preferred inflation measure, increased 0.6% from a month earlier, higher than economists' estimates and the most since June. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average were all headed for a losing week after swinging between gains and losses over the past few trading sessions. The S&P 500 is on track for its worst week since mid-December.
Treasury yields jumped, with the two-year yield hitting 4.79%, its highest level since 2007.
