This start to the week is expected to be poorly for stocks, and traders and investors appear to still catch their breath after the new year.
Last week, U.S. stocks fell strongly, and that drop was the first for stocks after nine straight weeks of gains.
On the flip side, with European markets opening and during morning trading, the Eurostoxx is now down 0.5%, the DAX is down 0.5%, and the CAC 40 is down 0.6%.
Meanwhile, U.S. index futures are slipping.
The sell-off has been going on since last week, even as bond yields have emerged more coherently so far, and 10-year Treasury yields are trading slightly lower today at 4.040% levels for now.
