A sharp selloff in the world’s largest bond market sent shockwaves through the U.S. financial markets this week, leaving investors to ponder if that choppiness will persist throughout the new year.

U.S. stocks ended little changed on Wednesday in a session they struggled for a clear direction, as investors digested the impact of two conflicting sets of jobs data and a report that said President-elect Donald Trump was mulling a national economic emergency declaration on inflation.

The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down Wednesday morning while the Nasdaq composite was slightly up.
