Sell a lot at a narrow profit margin, and you have a business model so well known it’s become part of the language: pile ’em high and sell ’em cheap.

The S&P 500 was largely unchanged Monday as a stock-market rally that once appeared unstoppable entered its longest stretch of vulnerability since the financial crisis. Monday’s increase of less than 0.1% marked the 51st trading day since the index suffered a correction—a decline of at least 10% from a recent high—its longest stretch in correction territory since 2008. Investors tepidly traded most of the day, with the fewest number of shares changing hands since Dec. 29.

See: Stock investors are freaking out about bonds ending a 3 decadelong bull run—but should they be? Market participants had blamed the swiftness of the bearish move on the oil prices(CLM18.NYM) nearing $70 a barrel which drove 10-year break-even rates, or inflation expectations, over the next decade, close to a more than three-year high of 2.19%, according to Tradeweb data.
Government bond yields climbing and a shrinking gap between short-term and long-term Treasury rates have prompted some consternation on Wall Street, driving equity prices lower as investors fret about what these dynamics mean for U.S. economic growth as it enters its ninth year of expansion. Fears about a so-called flattening yield curve have taken center stage, with investors fixated on the gap between the 2-year Treasury notes (XTUP:TMUBMUSD02Y=X) and the 10-year benchmark (XTUP:TMUBMUSD10Y=X), which last Tuesday touched the narrowest point—41 percentage points—in more than a decade. The yield curve is often tracked as a measure of sentiment about the economy’s overall health.
