The US 10-Year Treasury yield has climbed to 5.1685%, its highest level since 2007, reflecting persistent inflation expectations and strong demand for sovereign debt. This macro headwind is pressuring global equities, with stocks struggling amid bond volatility. The high yields are particularly damaging to growth stocks and real estate, while benefiting financials. The lack of a Fed intervention to cap yields suggests the market is pricing in a 'higher for longer' regime, complicating the outlook for leveraged sectors.
