The bond market is signaling significant structural inflation and term-premium concerns, with the 30-year yield breaking 5.62% and the 10-year yield nearing its highest monthly close in 24 years. This yield spike is acting as a drag on equity valuations, evidenced by hedge funds selling US equities for the first time in three weeks. The rising cost of capital is particularly bearish for growth stocks and high-multiple tech names, creating a challenging backdrop for the broader market rally.
