US Industrial Production surged +0.7% in September, beating the +0.4% estimate and following a series of hot inflation prints (CPI, PPI, imports). This data has invalidated the recent bond rally, pushing the 10-year yield to 5.127% and widening the 2s10s spread by nearly 36 basis points. The market is rapidly repricing the Fed's stance, with the 'Warsh dovish' narrative collapsing as yields spike, signaling that inflation remains sticky and rate cuts are further out. This environment pressures high-multiple growth stocks and benefits financials.
