US Treasury yields have surged to multi-decade highs, with the 30-year yield reaching levels unseen since 2002 and the 10-year yield breaking 5.29%. This sharp increase in borrowing costs is directly impacting rate-sensitive sectors, causing a 27% plunge in FICO stock and creating headwinds for growth equities and financials. The yield spike reflects market anxiety over persistent inflation and the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, signaling a challenging macro environment for leveraged companies and high-multiple tech stocks.
