NEW YORK, May 10 (Reuters) - Wall Street was mixed on Monday, with economically sensitive cyclical shares advancing as investors shifted their bets in favor of stocks that stand to benefit most as the economy reopens and the consumer, flush with stimulus and savings, brings demand roaring back to life.
Tech shares reversed Friday's gains, pulling the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq into negative territory, while industrial and healthcare shares set the blue-chip Dow on course for its fourth consecutive all-time closing high.
"You continue to see this rotation between tech-plus and cyclicals, and certainly the spike in inflation of input costs benefits cyclicals in terms of pricing," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York.
Booming demand is colliding with tight supply in basic materials, helping stoke fears of inflation.

The S&P Materials index reached an all-time high.
The break-even rate on five-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities $(TIPS)$ touched their highest levels since 2011 and 2013, respectively.
"The Fed has talked a lot about a temporary spike in inflation, that it will be temporary," Ghriskey added. "But the financial markets are clearly concerned about it."
