Stocks fell last week (S&P 500 -0.7%), although the NASDAQ and small stocks rose.  The bearish narrative continued to reflect headwinds from the higher interest rate backdrop as the 10-year US Treasury yield reached the highest level in 16 years.  Sectors that rose included energy (+1.3%) and materials (+0.2%); worst sectors were utilities (-7.0%) and consumer staples (-2.1%).
