The S&P 500 first closed above the 2,000 level for the first time ever in August 2014.

Stocks begin week on cautious tone. U.S. equities are trading flat this morning after strong returns on Friday from the technology and healthcare sectors.

Going back to 1955, this is now the 13th time the S&P 500 has gone a full calendar year without a new all-time high.

Markets looking to end week on positive note. U.S. stocks are moving higher in early trade, following gains in Asia overnight and strength in European markets.

Short-term yields have been surging higher as inflation continues to tick higher and the possibility of higher interest rates increases, while demand for long-term bonds remains strong thanks to foreign demand.

Markets lower as Fed minutes remain in focus. Stocks are slightly lower in early trading, weighed down by minutes from the April.
