The US 10-year Treasury yield has surged to 5.081%, marking the highest level since July 2007 and signaling a severe repricing of sovereign debt risk. This macro shock is directly contributing to the broad equity selloff, as higher discount rates compress valuations for growth and fintech stocks. The yield spike also reinforces the market's expectation of a hawkish Federal Reserve, potentially including an October rate hike, which further dampens liquidity and investor appetite for risk assets.
