(Bloomberg) — Nasdaq 100 futures climbed and Treasury yields fell, signaling a rebound may be in store for technology stocks after Thursday’s selloff sparked by rising inflation bets. Contracts on the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also edged higher after U.S. shares slid from a record. The yield on the 10-year Treasury benchmark slipped back below 1.7%, a threshold it hadn’t breached since January 2020, and the dollar was steady. WTI crude oil held above $60 a barrel after a 7% plunge. A calmer tone is ending a volatile week in which Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell fanned inflation fears by messaging he’s willing to run the economy hot to help it recover from the fallout of Covid-19, and he’s not unduly concerned by rising yields “Economic recovery is on its way and we have central banks around the world very committed to easy monetary policy,” said Jun Bei Liu, portfolio manager at Tribeca Investment Partners, who sees value stocks benefiting. “Fundamentals of the equity market are looking very strong.” Meanwhile, the Stoxx Europe 600 index declined, led by banks and retailers, while bond yields across the region retreated. China’s CSI 300 share gauge slumped as chilly U.S.-China talks soured the mood, while Japan’s Topix rallied and the Nikkei 225 sank after the Bank of Japan said it will focus purchases of exchange-traded funds on the former gauge. France announced a lockdown of areas including Paris to fight the pandemic, casting a cloud over Europe’s outlook amid an uneven vaccine roll out even as the European Central Bank signaled continued monetary support. Traders were bracing for quadruple witching Friday, a major expiration of options and futures contracts that can exacerbate swings in asset prices. Elsewhere, a number of European nations will start using AstraZeneca Plc’s Covid-19 vaccine again after Europe’s drug regulator declared it safe.
