US bond yields keep climbing, dragging global rates along for the ride.
This isn't complicated. When the world's largest bond market moves, everyone else follows. The 10-year Treasury sets the tone for mortgage rates, corporate borrowing costs, and risk appetite across asset classes.
Higher yields = higher cost of money = tighter financial conditions.
If you're wondering why stocks feel heavy or why that refi suddenly looks less attractive, this is why. The bond market doesn't care about your portfolio — it's just repricing risk and inflation expectations in real time.
Watch the trend, not the daily noise. But if yields keep grinding higher without a meaningful economic slowdown, something's going to break. It always does.
