🚨 Another day, another multi decade high for US bond yields
Interestingly, US10Y, US20Y, and US30Y have all jumped by 40 bps on average ever since the Treasury Secretary said "I am the house now, bet against me if you dare"
US10Y is now the highest since 2007.
US20Y and US30Y are both the highest since 2002.
Turns out the bond vigilantes took that dare.
🚨 THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD.
Entire US bond yield curve is going parabolic.
US01Y is at a 25-month high
US02Y is at a 28-month high
US05Y is at a 19-year high
US10Y is at a 19-year high
US20Y is also at a 22-year high
US30Y is at a 19-year high
Higher yields across the board mean higher borrowing costs for the government, businesses, and consumers, and that's bad news for both the economy and stocks.
