The 10-Year Treasury yield spiked to 5.1685%, marking the highest level since July 2007, as the US Treasury executed a $6 billion buyback of 20-30 year debt to manage liquidity. This move, combined with weekly jobless claims falling to signal a resilient labor market, has triggered a broad selloff in rate-sensitive assets. Wall Street opened in the red, with the S&P 500 facing immediate pressure as bond yields compete with equities for capital, forcing a repricing of growth multiples across the index.
