The US 10-year Treasury yield has surged to 5.31%, a 24-year high, driven by resilient ISM Manufacturing data (PMI 54.5 vs 54.8 est, Prices 77.9 vs 72.9 est) and rising energy costs. This yield spike reflects market pricing for persistent inflation and resilient growth, forcing a repricing of equity valuations. The bond market selloff is the dominant macro headwind, pressuring rate-sensitive sectors and complicating the Fed's path forward. US economic data continues to show resilience, with ISM Manufacturing PMI coming in at 54.5 and employment at 52.7, both beating estimates. Initial jobless claims fell to 197K, indicating a tight labor market. This data supports the 'soft landing' narrative but also fuels inflation concerns, contributing to the bond market selloff and higher yields. The economy's strength is a double-edged sword, supporting earnings but pressuring valuations.
