The 10-year Treasury yield has topped 5.25%, driven by inflation fears stemming from the oil shock and expectations of persistent Fed rate hikes. This macro environment is weighing heavily on growth-oriented stocks, particularly software and private credit companies, whose leveraged business models are threatened by higher borrowing costs. The yield spike is a key factor in the broad market decline, with the Dow Jones losing over 380 points.
