The US bond market is experiencing a severe stress event, with the 30-year Treasury yield surging to 5.53%, the highest level since June 2004. This +25 basis point move in just three days indicates a sharp repricing of long-term inflation and fiscal risk. Prominent investors like Bill Ackman are publicly questioning the Federal Reserve's strategy, adding to market anxiety. This bond sell-off poses a direct threat to equity valuations, particularly for growth and tech stocks that are sensitive to discount rate changes, potentially capping the upside of the recent market rally.
