The 2-year Treasury yield just hit 4.76% — highest we've seen since July.
This matters because the 2-year is super sensitive to Fed expectations. When it spikes like this, the market is essentially saying: rates are staying higher for longer, or cuts are getting pushed back.
Translation: borrowing costs aren't coming down anytime soon. That puts pressure on anything that relies on cheap money — growth stocks, housing, small caps.
If you're watching rate-sensitive sectors, this is your signal to stay cautious.
