LONDON\/SINGAPORE (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury yields fell to three-week lows while stock markets were mixed on Tuesday as concerns about potential roadblocks to new U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s planned $1.9 trillion stimulus weighed on investor sentiment.<\/p>

Mounting coronavirus cases and caution ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s policy meeting this week also dulled appetites for risk, lending support to the dollar against a basket of currencies. Oil prices edged down.<\/p>\n

The yield on Germany\u2019s 10-year government bond, seen as Europe\u2019s safest asset, dropped to a two-week low amid a fresh bout of political turmoil in Italy.<\/p>\n

But European stock markets [.EU] inched higher after two sessions of declines, with the pan-European STOXX 600 up 0.8%, after Swiss wealth manager UBS posted a surge in quarterly net profit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe earnings season up to now has been very good, so it comes back to the fact the market has been overbought and had a strong rally since Jan. 1, with a lot of positive news priced in,\u201d said Francois Savary, chief investment officer at Swiss wealth manager Prime Partners, referring to recent losses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is room for some consolidation.\u201d<\/p>\n

E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 shed 0.1%. On Monday, the Nasdaq index scaled a new peak but the Dow Jones Industrial Average index slipped [.N].<\/p>\n

South Korea and Hong Kong topped losers in Asia overnight, falling more than 2% apiece. The sell-off also saw Japanese stocks slip 1% and Chinese blue-chips tumble 2%, their biggest one-day loss since Sept. 9.<\/p>\n

All had touched milestone highs earlier this month.<\/p>

MSCI\u2019s All Country World index, which tracks stocks across 49 countries, was flat, while MSCI\u2019s emerging market stock index was 1.6% lower.<\/p>\n

Simmering tensions in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea added to the caution in Chinese markets, where a jump in small-cap short bets has also caught regulators\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n

After a \u201cbuy everything\u201d rally over several months supported by money-printing pandemic stimulus packages, near-zero interest rates and the start of COVID-19 vaccination programmes, some investors are worried markets may be near \u2018bubble\u2019 territory.<\/p>\n

They point to rocketing prices of assets such as bitcoin or, on Monday, the soaring stock of short-squeezed videogame retailer Gamestop.<\/p>\n

U.S. lawmakers agreed that getting COVID-19 vaccines to Americans should be a priority even as they locked horns over the size of a pandemic relief package. Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer nevertheless warned the relief package may be four to six weeks away.<\/p>\n

Disagreements have meant months of indecision in the United States, where COVID-19 cases are over 175,000 a day and millions of people are out of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe suspect earnings may not be able to catch up with what people expect this year,\u201d said Jacob Doo, chief investment officer at Envysion Wealth Management, citing the lockdowns in Europe and the slow roll out of vaccines in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the tech space, we are cautious on FANGS now, simply because there could be anti-trust laws that Biden would implement,\u201d he added, using an acronym for major U.S. tech companies including Facebook and Amazon.<\/p>\n

Investors are also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve\u2019s Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect the January FOMC to repeat and reinforce the Fed\u2019s existing dovishness, which is still significant given the recent taper discussions and other central banks\u2019 considerations to adapt policy,\u201d CitiFX strategist Ebrahim Rahbari said in a note.<\/p>\n

Against a basket of its rivals, the dollar rose 0.2% to 90.65, its highest level since Jan. 20, as volatility in stocks dulled appetite for riskier currencies.<\/p>\n

The euro, which fell on Monday after a survey showed German business morale slumping, slipped 0.2% to $1.2126. [USD\/]<\/p>\n

The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield slipped a fraction to fresh three-week lows, last trading at 1.0414%. [US\/]<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s 10-year bond yield fell a basis point to a two-week low of -0.561%, while Italian 10-year yields were up slightly on the day at 0.655%.<\/p>\n

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will resign on Tuesday, his office said, hoping President Sergio Mattarella will then give him a mandate to form a new government.<\/p>\n

After rising nearly 1% on Monday, Brent crude fell 0.5% to $55.60 per barrel and U.S. crude lost 0.5% to $52.51. [O\/R]<\/p>\n

Spot gold fell 0.2% to $1,852.30 per ounce.<\/p>\n
