The 10-year Treasury yield has surged past 5.25%, reflecting aggressive market pricing for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. This move is triggering a broad selloff in rate-sensitive assets, notably dragging down housing and mortgage stocks while pushing gold and silver prices lower as real yields approach record highs. The steepening yield curve poses a significant headwind for high-multiple growth stocks and commercial real estate, forcing a re-evaluation of valuation models across the equity market.
