US Treasury yields have surged to multi-decade highs, driven by persistent inflation concerns and robust economic data. This macro headwind is actively pulling equities away from their recent record highs, particularly impacting high-multiple growth stocks and technology sectors that are sensitive to discount rate changes. The rising yield environment also increases borrowing costs for corporations, potentially dampening future capital expenditure and M&A activity.
