Ahead of inflation data this week that could underscore concerns the Federal Reserve will move aggressively to fight hot inflation, the 10-year Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% for the first time since January 2020. Early Monday, that sliced into tech stocks before they recovered.

The central bank is expected to raise interest rates four times in the next five years.

The consumer price inflation report is due on Wednesday and it could be over 7%, the highest rate since 1982.

The quant guru at JP Morgan says investors should buy the dip in stocks as markets can hold up. Morgan Stanley's equity strategists say the market is set for defensive stocks to take a leadership role.
