The bond market is signaling deep concern over the inflationary impact of the energy shock. The US 10-Year Treasury yield has breached 5.25%, while the ECB's Lagarde has called for a 'measured response' to keep inflation in check. Emerging markets are feeling the strain, with South Africa raising interest rates and India's RBI facing pressure for a hike due to the weaker rupee and crude costs. This environment of rising yields and sticky inflation is compressing valuations for growth stocks and increasing borrowing costs globally.
