The US 20-Year Treasury yield has surged to 5.735%, a 24-year high, forcing a significant repricing of long-duration assets. This macro shock is manifesting in the Nasdaq 100, where 55 of 101 components are now trading below their 50-day moving averages, indicating severe internal weakness despite the index's nominal record highs. Bond funds are seeing historic cash inflows as investors flee equities for fixed income, suggesting a defensive rotation that pressures high-multiple growth stocks.
