A recent chart from CNBC highlights just how eventful the past month has been for the fixed-income sector. We watched the 10-year yield climb roughly 50 bps, hitting a peak we have not witnessed since 2007. At the same time, the 2-year yield saw a slightly greater increase, while the 30-year yield soared to marks last recorded back in 2002.
These dramatic shifts naturally prompt a couple of pressing questions concerning global markets and the wider economy. Primarily, are we currently entering a lasting era of consistently high interest rates? Furthermore, have the majority of the ripple effects already impacted other risk factors and the broader economy?
Given the reasoning detailed previously, my perspective remains straightforward. I would answer yes to the first inquiry, and no to the second.
