US Treasury yields are surging to multi-decade highs, with the 10-year yield hitting 5.17% and the 30-year yield testing 5.45%. This bond market pressure is acting as a drag on global equities, forcing a rotation out of high-multiple growth stocks and testing the resilience of the current market rally. The rising cost of capital is a persistent macro headwind that complicates the Fed's ability to cut rates despite the cooling oil prices. Meta Platforms has unveiled new AI-powered game development tools and smart glasses at its annual Connect conference, signaling a push into the next generation of consumer hardware and gaming. While the stock is up 4.4%, the introduction of these tools is expected to pressure traditional gaming companies that must now innovate rapidly to compete with Meta's integrated AI ecosystem.
