A deepening global bond rout pushed the 10-year Treasury yield above 5.3% — a level last seen in 2002 — with 30-year near 5.67% and borrowing costs from France to Japan hitting multi-decade highs.
Take: This is the week's real pricing event. Long-end yields are repricing fiscal deficits and sticky inflation at once, and that cracks the foundation under equity multiples. Duration, REITs and levered credit get hit first — don't rush the TLT dip.
Brent crude rallied more than 4% Thursday on a report the US is dispatching a third aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, with WTI and gasoline surging in tandem as supply risks retake the narrative.
Take: The geopolitical premium is back, layered on top of an already tight diesel market. Energy and upstream are the natural hedge, but another leg up in crude feeds inflation and long-end yields — that's a headwind for risk broadly.
