The benchmark 10-year yield is closing in on reaching 5% for the first time in 16 years, putting pressure on stocks. Investors are also watching for the impact of elevated interest rates on corporate performance during earnings season.

Peloton announced a partnership with the NBA and WNBA, and Nokia plans to cut up to 14,000 jobs to reduce costs.
