The US 10-Year Yield has surged to a 24-year high of 5.31%, reflecting persistent inflation concerns and tight monetary policy expectations. This macro headwind is pressuring high-multiple growth stocks and financials, while the US Manufacturing PMI of 55.9, though solid, fell short of the 57.0 estimate, suggesting a potential slowdown in industrial activity. The combination of rising yields and softer-than-expected manufacturing data is creating a challenging backdrop for equity valuations.
