(Bloomberg) — Most stocks and U.S. futures slid on Monday as surging energy prices cemented worries about inflation and reinforced bets on policy tightening. Bond yields rose.

Most Read from Bloomberg

Consumer and retail shares led declines in Europe’s Stoxx 600, while U.S. contracts slipped after the S&P 500 chalked its best week since July. Shares in Asia were mixed as China’s economy slowed in the third quarter.

The global bond selloff gathered pace after New Zealand’s inflation accelerated to the fastest pace in 10 years. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey moved to strengthen the case for raising interest rates, saying the central bank will “have to act” to curb inflationary forces and warning higher energy costs mean price pressures will linger. Ten-year Treasury yields extended a climb back to 1.6%.

Oil prices built on their eighth weekly gain, with West Texas Intermediate crude rising to the highest since 2014. Brent approached $86 a barrel. The dollar gauge rose.

Investors continue to grapple with worries that surging energy shortages and supply-chain disruptions will drive up living costs in most economies. At the same time, the recovery remains patchy and central bankers are inching closer to paring back stimulus. U.S. consumer sentiment fell unexpectedly in early October, but retail sales advanced.

“We are starting to see some cracks in the transitory narrative that we’ve been hearing for quite some time,” Meera Pandit, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, said on Bloomberg Radio. “Rates will continue to ground higher from where we are. But I don’t think from a Fed perspective, when you think about the short end of the curve, that they are going to move much earlier than 2023. They are going to be a little bit more patient than the market expects right now.”

Mohammed El-Erian, the chief economic adviser at Allianz SE and a Bloomberg columnist, said investors should prepare for increased market volatility if the Federal Reserve pulls back on stimulus measures set in motion by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In China, People’s Bank of China Governor Yi Gang said authorities can contain risks posed to the Chinese economy and financial system from the struggles of China Evergrande Group.

Elsewhere, Bitcoin rallied back above $62,000 as the first U.S. Bitcoin futures ETF may debut Monday.
