WS #14828
US equities closed the week higher with the Dow Jones up 0.93%, but stock futures are falling ahead of a critical earnings week and the Federal Reserve meeting. Analysts are warning that if long-term bond yields sustain levels above 5%, financing high-multiple technology stocks will become unsustainable, creating a headwind for growth sectors. The market is currently pricing in a "super-cycle" hedge against supply shocks, but the tension between robust business activity and restrictive financial conditions suggests a volatile week ahead as investors weigh rate expectations against corporate earnings.
