The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield touched a three-year peak last week, hitting growth stocks. Value stocks also fell after comments from Federal Reserve officials raised concerns that a rapid policy tightening to tame inflation could slow the economic growth.
Meanwhile, data released last week showed that U.S. consumer prices increased by the most in 16-1/2 years in March.
