US stocks closed mixed in the first trading day of a holiday-shortened week. *Treasury yields* rose on fears that China\'s re-opening may add to global inflation.

The *S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index* showed home price growth in its 20-city composite cooled to 8.6% YoY, its lowest reading since November 2020. Elsewhere, *China dropped quarantine requirements for inbound travelers effective 8 January 2023*, and began *issuing passports and Hong Kong travel permits to mainland residents*.
