The macro environment remains constrained by stubbornly high interest rates, with the 30-year Treasury yield surging to 5.51%, a multi-decade high. This level of yield exerts significant pressure on high-multiple growth stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), as the cost of capital rises to levels that challenge future cash flow valuations. The market is pricing in a 'higher for longer' regime, which limits the upside for rate-sensitive sectors and forces a re-evaluation of asset prices across the board.
