What’s driving the market

The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index and new-home sales data are due for release at 10 a.m. Eastern.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank took notice of the rise in inflation expectations revealed in the preliminary release of the University of Michigan survey, which he said contributed to the decision to lift interest rates by 75 basis points rather than 50 basis points this month.

Market-derived inflation expectations have dropped, due to worries the Fed will tighten so much as to trigger a recession. The yield on the 10-year TIPS dropped to 0.59% on Thursday, from as high as 0.89% last week.
