WS #14784
U.S. Treasury yields are breaking through the 5% threshold, driven by resilient economic growth and inflation concerns exacerbated by the energy supply shock. This surge in borrowing costs threatens to compress valuations in high-multiple growth sectors and increases refinancing risks for leveraged assets. Bank of America warns that the combination of rising bond anxiety and financial stock selloffs could signal a broader risk-off event, forcing investors to balance the appeal of shorted stocks against the drag of higher rates.
