The 30-Year Treasury Yield surging to a multi-decade high of 5.51% continues to pressure valuation multiples across growth and technology stocks, creating a challenging environment for high-multiple equities. Compounding this macro headwind is a warning from Apollo's Mark Slok that the Federal Reserve may be overlooking inflationary risks from a surge in diesel prices, which could keep energy costs sticky and limit the Fed's ability to cut rates. This combination of high yields and potential energy-driven inflation creates a bearish backdrop for rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and consumer discretionary.
