The 10-year bond yield has climbed 21 out of the last 25 days. Last time we saw a streak like this? The 1970s.
That's not just a stat—that's a regime shift signal. Back then we had stagflation, oil shocks, and the Fed fighting inflation with rate hikes that broke everything. Now we're seeing persistent inflation fears, sticky core data, and bond vigilantes waking up.
What this means for markets: higher yields = higher discount rates = lower equity multiples. Tech and growth stocks get hit hardest. The Nasdaq already feeling it. If yields keep grinding higher, we could see more rotation into value, financials, and energy—or just straight-up selling across the board.
Watch the 4.5% level on the 10-year. Break above that and things get spicy. Below 4.2% and maybe we get some relief. But a 1970s-style move? That's a macro headwind you can't ignore.
Bond market is screaming something. Listen.
