(Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks were mixed while the selloff in global bonds deepened, with the benchmark Treasury yield hitting a one-year high and debt from the U.K. to Australia coming under pressure.Losses for tech shares were blunted by gains for financial companies as investors rotate away from pandemic-era winners to smaller companies poised to benefit from an end to lockdowns. Stocks popular with the day-trader crowd surged once again, with GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Inc. both advancing. European shares edged higher.Across markets, investors are betting on a sunnier outlook for the global economy, with U.S. jobless claims data the latest to support that idea. But they’re also staring down the risk that accelerating inflation is just around the corner and trying to gauge what that might mean for markets.“Interest rates are rising for good reasons right now and it’s because markets and the bond market are expecting us to return to good growth,” said Chris Gaffney, president of world markets at TIAA Bank. “The problem comes in when interest rates start rising for bad reasons -- and a bad reason would be that they expect inflation to start getting out of hand.”In remarks this week, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell offered reassurance that policy would continue to be supportive and look beyond a temporary pick-up in inflation, especially from a low base.That’s given the bond market enough reason to keep driving yields higher. The 10-year U.S. yield adjusted for inflation rose to its highest level in more than seven months, a warning sign for riskier assets that have benefited from exceptionally loose financial conditions amid the pandemic.Read more: Soaring U.S. Yields Send Risk Assets Warning as Real Rates RiseNominal yields also soared, with the rate on the 10-year U.S. benchmark adding as much as nine basis points to 1.47%, the highest level in a year.Elsewhere in markets, Asian bourses closed broadly higher.

PARIS — A rare painting by Dutch impressionist master Vincent van Gogh of a street scene in the Parisian neighbourhood of Montmartre will be publicly displayed for the first time before its auction next month. Sotheby's auction house said the work, painted in 1887, has remained in the same family collection for more than 100 years — out of the public eye. It will be exhibited next month in Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Paris ahead of an auction scheduled on March 25 in the French capital. “It’s an important painting in the oeuvre of Vincent van Gogh because it dates from the period in which he’s living in Paris with his brother, Theo," Etienne Hellman, senior director of Impressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby's, told the Associated Press. Van Gogh moved to Paris in 1886 and lived in Montmartre. He left the capital in 1888 for southern France, where he lived until his death in 1890. “Before this, his paintings are much darker... In Paris he discovers colour,” Hellman said. “Colour blows up into the painting." “Street Scene in Montmartre” depicts a windmill named the Pepper Mill, seen from the street under a bright sky, with a man, a women and a little girl walking in front of wooden palisades that surrounded the place. “Paris marks this period where... the major impressionists influence his work,” Hellman said. Sotheby’s said the painting has been published in seven catalogues before but has never been exhibited. Claudia Mercier, auctioneer of Mirabaud Mercier house, said “it is also an important painting because there are very, very few of them remaining in private hands... especially from that period, most are in museums now.” Sotheby's has estimated the painting’s value between 5 and 8 million euros (between $6.1 and $9.8 million). It which did not reveal the identity of the owner. It will be on display in Amsterdam on March 1-3, Hong-King on March 9-12 and Paris on March 16-23. The Pepper Mill was destroyed during the construction of an avenue in 1911, but two similar windmills are still present today on the Montmartre hill.

Farmers’ markets are a staple of Muskoka summers, but for some communities, the 2020 season has been cancelled. “Like everybody in any business, it’s difficult,” said Nancy MacMillan, market manager for the Bala and Port Carling farmers’ markets. A confluence of factors contributed to the decision not to run the markets, which normally run weekly in Jaspen and Hanna parks, this year, MacMillan said. Evolving restrictions from the provincial government regarding large gatherings, the closure of municipal parks (at the time of the decision) and the fact that many of the markets’ vendors are not food-primary, led to the cancellation, she explained. “It’s not just our vendors because each of our markets have musicians too, so those are (lost) opportunities,” MacMillan said. “It’s been hard all around for everyone.” The market team is keeping watch on the evolving COVID-19 situation and is committed to coming back when safety can be ensured, said MacMillan, which is likely not until 2021. For vendors, the cancellations are “definitely having an impact on their financial situation,” she noted. To that end, the market is working on digitizing its vendors, offering information on its websites and social platforms. In April, the provincial government deemed farmers’ markets an essential service. In early June, protocol dictated markets were permitted to operate with a variety of vendors as long as the majority of them were selling food, according to Farmers' Markets Ontario. For Teresa Upper, whose handmade jewelry stall is a regular fixture at the Bala Farmers Market, those designations were too late. What began as a hobby for the Huntsville resident has grown significantly since she began selling in local markets last year. “It was very disappointing not to be able to be a vendor at any of the markets for 2020,” she said in an email. “It will definitely hurt financially and also socially since I’m fairly new to the market world.” This summer would have marked the 19th anniversary of the Baysville Farmers’ Market, but those celebrations will have to wait. Cathy Vanclieaf, co-ordinator of the Baysville Community Group, said the decision not to operate this year was made at the end of April and despite guidelines changing since then, Vanclieaf said the market’s lack of staff left it unable to operate responsibly. Many of the market’s organizers are seniors who were hesitant to volunteer in an environment where their health and safety could be compromised. In Baysville, where shopping is limited, Vanclieaf has noticed the general store stocking up on items they wouldn’t regularly carry, notably more fruits and vegetables. “We’ll see over the summer, without the market, if they continue that trend,” she said. Because some of the Baysville vendors participate in other Muskoka farmers markets, Vanclieaf is comforted by the fact that they can engage with customers elsewhere. “It’s definitely a different year, but it’s been that way for everyone and everything,” she said. “We just have to recognize that’s the way 2020 is going to be.” Kristyn Anthony reports for Muskokaregion.com through the Local Journalism Initiative, a program funded by the Canadian government.
