🚨 THE U.S. 10-YEAR JUST PUNCHED ABOVE 5.3% — THE BOND MARKET IS THE REAL PROBLEM NOW.
The 10-year Treasury yield briefly hit 5.34%, its highest level since 2002, before easing back near 5.27%.
And here’s the weird part:
PCE inflation came in softer than expected… but yields still exploded higher.
Why?
Because markets are still fighting:
Heavy government borrowing.
Sticky inflation risks.
Huge AI/data-center capital demand.
Weak appetite for long-duration bonds.
That creates a brutal setup:
10Y yield ↑ → mortgage rates ↑ → valuations compress → financing gets more expensive → risk assets feel the squeeze.
This is why everyone watching $BTC, $QQQ, $SPX and even $XAU should care.
The Fed can pause.
Inflation can cool.
But if the bond market keeps demanding 5%+ yields, financial conditions stay tight anyway.
The biggest macro risk may no longer be the next Fed hike.
It may be the bond market refusing to calm down. 👀
