US Treasury yields have surged to 5.31%, marking the worst quarterly performance since 1994 and putting immense pressure on global equity valuations.

The selloff is spreading to European and Asian markets, with the FTSE 100 tumbling and the Rupee slumping, creating a hostile environment for growth stocks and highly leveraged corporate borrowers.
