WS #14724
The US 10-year Treasury yield has spiked to 5.1685%, the highest level since July 2007, reflecting a severe repricing of long-term risk-free rates. This surge is fueled by persistent inflation expectations and a flood of high-yield supply, including SoftBank's record bond sales. The move is aggressively bearish for duration-sensitive assets, including growth tech, REITs, and private credit, as the cost of capital rises to levels that threaten corporate refinancing walls. Shares of private credit-related companies are trading lower following a 'force majeure' notice from Oracle regarding timeline slippage at the Project Jupiter data center. This event highlights the fragility of the private credit market, which is heavily exposed to AI infrastructure build-outs. The sell-off suggests that investors are beginning to price in execution risks and delays in the AI capex cycle, adding to the bearish sentiment around high-multiple tech and financial intermediaries.
