Perhaps providing some encouragement for investors, the Biden White House referred to those talks as \u201cproductive and direct,\u201d while House Speaker Kevin McCarthy referred to the meeting as \u201ca little more productive.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The California Republican also said a deal by the end of the week was possible. President Joe Biden has cut short an Asian trip and will return to the U.S. on Sunday to focus on the debt-ceiling crisis. <\/p>\n<p>Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that June 1\u00a0could be the date when the U.S. may become unable to pay its bills in the absence of a debt-ceiling increase.\u00a0Concerns about potential impact on markets of a technical U.S. default has helped keep the S&amp;P 500 index confined to a tight range in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegional banking fears, tough Fed talk, and rhetoric over the debt ceiling from the politicians have all leaned on stocks over the past week or so. The averages have not moved out of their trading ranges, thus suggesting that the market is likely to trade sideways as the earnings season comes to an end and the focus shifts toward the June 13-14 FOMC [Federal Open Market Committee] meeting,\u201d said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital, in a note to clients.<\/p>\n<p>Treasury yields<br \/>\n        TMUBMUSD10Y,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.000%\" channel=\"\" class=\"\">3.528%<\/bg-quote><\/p>\n<p>        TMUBMUSD02Y,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.000%\" channel=\"\" class=\"\">4.084%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       were holding mostly steady, as investors waited more economic data \u2014 housing starts and building permits for April at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.<\/p>\n<p>Investors will also get more insight on the state of consumers, with big retailers Target Corp.<br \/>\n        TGT,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/207799045\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-1.62%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       and TJX Cos.<br \/>\n        TJX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/203136811\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-1.30%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       due to report results ahead of the open.
