WS #14726
The US bond market is repricing risk aggressively, with the 10-Year yield piercing 5.1685%, the highest level since 2007. This move is driven by a combination of overheating economic data and inflationary pressures from energy shocks. The surge in yields is acting as a headwind for equities, particularly high-multiple growth stocks, and is forcing traders to price in a more hawkish Federal Reserve stance. This macro environment creates a challenging backdrop for asset allocation, favoring value and energy over long-duration tech.
