U.S. stocks fell for a second day, joining a retreat in global shares after a rout in fixed-income markets spread to equities.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.3 percent to 2,099.08 at 4 p.m. in New York. The gauge all but erased a 0.9 percent slide as the 10-year Treasury note yield retreated from the highest level since November. The benchmark index ended Friday two points shy of a record before declining to start this week.

"When you have stocks at the high end of the historical range you need better news than what we have," said Matt Maley, an equity strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. in Newton, Massachusetts. "This rise in rates isn't coming from a better economy or a fundamental reason."

The S&P 500 arrested its slide as Treasuries reversed, and energy shares advanced with the price of crude after the group Monday fell the most since January.

"The only thing has been a turnaround in the bond market, with yields lower making stocks more attractive," said Thomas Garcia, the head of equity trading at Santa Fe, New Mexico-based Thornburg Investment Management Inc. "It seems as though the equity investors don't believe rates are going up and the bond investors do. Or maybe it's just that equity investors believe it, but it will be at a slow pace."

A global fixed-income rout is spreading to other markets as the European Central Bank's quantitative easing helps push global debt valuations to extreme levels while traders grow more confident that the Federal Reserve will delay raising interest rates until later this year to allow for the economic recovery to gain momentum.

Although the timing is uncertain, the Fed's first rate increase since 2006 will usher in a "regime shift" that will stir financial markets when it occurs, said New York Fed President William C. Dudley on Tuesday.

San Francisco Fed President John Williams, who votes on policy this year, said the Fed could decide to begin raising interest rates at any policy meeting, and that he is in "wait and see mode" headed into the next gathering in June.

Polish equity market appreciated on Tuesday. The broad market benchmark - the WIG index inched up 0.07%, while the large liquid companies' indicator - the WIG30 index rose 0.18%.

Among the WIG30 index components LPP (WSE: LPP) topped the list of outperformers with a 4.03% increase as the company reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter results. In addition, ENERGA (WSE: ENG) recorded a noticeable increase, rebounding by 1.61% after five straight days of declines. On the other side of the ledger, EUROCASH (WSE: EUR) posted the largest decline, down 3.60%. Besides, the sellers were active in KERNEL (WSE: KER), HANDLOWY (WSE: BHW) and BZ WBK (WSE: BZW), which closed down a respective 1.53%, 1.47% and 1.23%.

Among the WIG sub-sector indices the measure representing the performance of the stocks from the food industry - the WIG-SPOZYW index recorded the worst result, declining 0.59 %. It was followed by the chemical industry's indicator - the WIG-CHEMIA index, which lost 0.47% as the market participants took profits in the names from the sector after gains in the previous two trading sessions. On the contrary, the IT-companies' benchmark - the WIG-INFO showed the biggest rise, up 1.19%.

Dollar bulls are running scared as a global bond-market rout gains momentum in Europe.

The greenback weakened against most of its 16 major peers and snapped a three-day rise against the euro as debt from Germany to Italy and Spain tumbled. The surge in European yields that began last month has outpaced increases in the U.S., spurring appetite for euros.

"It's like a mini taper-tantrum out of the euro zone," Mark McCormick, a foreign-exchange strategist at Credit Agricole SA, said by phone. "The relative interest-rate spreads are driving short-term movements. You can see the euro has a stronger bid."

The dollar fell 0.8 percent against the euro to $1.1241. The euro rallied versus most of its 16 major peers, adding 0.6 percent to 134.79 yen. The greenback was little changed at 119.83 yen.

Bonds dropped on Tuesday amid what Goldman Sachs Group Inc. termed a "large and vicious" selloff in euro-area securities. Germany's 10-year yield increased seven basis points to 0.68 percent, Spain's rose eight basis points to 1.82 percent and yields on similar-maturity Italian debt added eight basis points to 1.84 percent.

"We've seen the dollar, which was one of the more popular long positions against the euro, come off on the back of some higher yields" in Europe, Brian Daingerfield, a currency strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's RBS Securities unit in Stamford, Connecticut, said by phone. A long position is a bet on an asset rising in value. "A continued selloff in European fixed income markets with higher rates could keep upward pressure on the euro."

The euro is forecast to resume its decline by year-end, as Europe maintains its unprecedented program of monetary stimulus while the U.S. moves toward raising rates for the first time since 2006. The currency will slip against 13 of its 16 major counterparts by Dec. 31, according to predictions.

Markets will be able to anticipate the first increase in U.S. interest rates by monitoring incoming data, which ought to "help mitigate the degree of market turbulence" when the Fed does move, New York Federal Reserve President William C. Dudley said on Tuesday. Any increase is likely to "signal a regime shift" that will stir financial markets when it occurs, he said.

U.S. retail sales data due Wednesday may offer clues on the timing of when the Fed will start to tighten policy. They'll show a 0.2 percent increase in April from the previous month, down from a 0.9 percent jump in March, according to the median estimate of economists.

"There is some ongoing uncertainty on when the first Fed interest-rate hike is going to come," said Neil Mellor, a currency strategist at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. in London. "But underneath it all is the simple fact the Fed is more likely than not going to be the first major central bank to start hiking rates, so the cap on the dollar is going to be fairly limited."

Stock indices closed lower on a selloff in major government bonds. The yield on Germany's 10-year Bund rose to 0.73% on Tuesday. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note increased to 2.27% on Tuesday.

The Greek debt crisis remained in focus. Greece yesterday began the transfer of €750 million in loans to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). A payment deadline is today.

Greece has averted a possible default, but there are no reasons for optimism yet. Eurogroup said after yesterday's meeting that it will not unlock the €7.2 billion tranche of loans until the Greek government begins reforms agreed with its creditors. Athens is struggling to meet its payment obligations.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) released its manufacturing industrial production figures for the U.K. on Tuesday. Manufacturing production in the U.K. rose 0.4% in March, exceeding expectations for a 0.3% gain, after a 0.5% increase in February. February's figure was revised up from a 0.4% rise.

Manufacturing output was driven by oil and gas extraction, which jumped 4.9% in March, the biggest rise since February 2014.

Industrial production in the U.K. climbed 0.5% in March, beating forecasts of a flat reading, after a 0.1% rise in February.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) released its estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.K. on Tuesday. The GDP estimate rose by 0.4% in three months to April, after a 0.3% growth in three months to March.

New York Fed President William C. Dudley said in Zurich in Tuesday that he does not know when the Fed will start to hike its interest rates.

According to the British Retail Consortium (BRC), the U.K. total retail sales declined by 1.3% in April, after a 4.7% rise in March. It was the biggest decline since March 2011.

Retail spending excluding changes in floor space fell by 2.4% in April, after a 3.2 increase in March.

The director-general at the BRC Helen Dickinson said that "confidence among consumers is slowly improving".

According to the New York Fed's survey of consumer expectations, released on Monday, the U.S. one-year ahead inflation expectations were 2.7% in April, down from 2.9% in March. It was the lowest level since mid-2013.

The U.S. three-year ahead inflation expectations rose to 3.0% in April from 2.9% in March.

The Fed wants to hike its interest rate later this year but wants to be sure that the consumer price inflation is on track to reach its 2% target.

According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's (CIPD) survey, British employers expect to raise pay by 1.8% in the next 12 months, down from their previous expectations for a rise of 2.0% three months ago.

The labour market analyst at CIPD Gerwyn Davies said that there are only "very modest improvements" in wages in the U.K. despite the strong labour market.

"Word has spread that inflation is expected to remain very low this year so it's no surprise that many employers are hitting the pause button on pay," Davies noted.

The euro was little changed and a gauge of Asian developing-nation currencies fell to a four-week low. Greece persuaded a German-led bloc of creditors that it is serious about delivering the tight budget policies needed to escape a default. A transfer order for the IMF repayment was put in Monday, two Greek officials said. The European Central Bank will reassess the emergency liquidity lines keeping the Greek banking system in business Wednesday. Overblown expectations for the European Central Bank's quantitative easing plan pushed global debt valuations to extreme levels, triggering a "large and vicious" selloff in European bonds that's infected other markets, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Greece has readied a repayment to the International Monetary Fund, officials said, as the ECB prepared to reassess emergency funding for the country's banks.
