Inflation risks reminiscent of the 1970s economy for the Fed
The 10-year Treasury yield (^TYX) is peaking above 4.5% coming off of this morning's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report that saw inflation tick up 0.4% month-over-month and 3.5% annually. The Federal Reserve could have a serious case of déjà vu on its hands if inflation manages to unwind economic progress, as was the case in the 1970s. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Jared Blikre gauges the momentum behind market volatility and "supercore" inflation — the prices of services that exclude housing and energy costs — as the Fed wrestles with March's economic data.

April is usually worst month for chip stocks. Will this continue?
Markets' Volatility Index (^VIX) is surging ahead by over 10% Tuesday morning, the second trading session in April. The month has historically been a period of "unwinding" momentum for stocks, according to BTIG Managing Director and Chief Market Technician Jonathan Krinsky. Krinsky joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss whether the month — which is also the beginning of 2024's second quarter — could put a pause on year-to-date gains across markets and industries like the semiconductor landscape: "It's actually the worst month of the year on average for long-short momentum strategies. We're seeing areas like semis, which have had an amazing run starting to pull back. And then you're seeing areas like utilities which have lagged over the last few months start to actually perform well. There's different parts of the market doing different things. But, ultimately when you get that kind of momentum, that correlation break, that's when you see the rising Vix like we're seeing today."
