Story key points
4 claims · impact-rated
Bond investors are selling Treasury securities, driving the 30-year yield to its highest level since 2007 and the 10-year yield to its highest since January 2025. — Rising long-term yields increase borrowing costs for mortgages and corporate loans, creating a systemic headwind for risk assets.
-0.80Futures traders now see only a 2% chance of interest rate cuts by year-end, with a 49% probability that rates will actually be higher. — A sharp reversal in rate expectations from 'cuts' to 'hikes' typically compresses equity valuation multiples.
-0.70April inflation rose to 3.8% year over year, the highest rate since May 2023. — Higher-than-expected inflation triggers the 'bond vigilante' response and pressures the Fed to maintain a restrictive policy.
-0.60Ed Yardeni predicts the bond market sell-off will force the Fed to adopt a tightening bias in June and hike interest rates in July. — A forced policy pivot toward tightening reduces liquidity and increases the cost of capital for businesses.
