The 10-year Treasury yield has leaped to a fresh 19-year high, driven by hot economic readings that suggest the US economy is more resilient than anticipated. Concurrently, 30-year mortgage rates have surged above 7%, hitting their highest level in over two years. This hawkish repricing creates a significant headwind for rate-sensitive sectors like housing and high-multiple tech, while benefiting financials that can leverage higher net interest margins. The Treasury's $6 billion debt buyback offers limited liquidity support but does not offset the fundamental shift in yield expectations.
