The US 10-year Treasury yield has surged to a 19-year high, driven by Federal Reserve policy signals and strong payroll data that have dashed expectations for imminent rate cuts. This spike is causing a broad-based risk-off reaction, with the Indian Sensex tumbling over 600 points and European bond spreads widening to extreme levels. The higher yield environment pressures high-multiple growth stocks, contributing to premarket declines in major tech names like Google and Intel, and forces a re-evaluation of global liquidity conditions.
