The US fixed-income market is repricing for a higher-for-longer regime, with the 30-year yield surging to 5.656% and major banks forecasting a breach of 6% within the month. This yield spike is driving a massive flight to quality into the US dollar, pushing the Euro to its lowest level against the greenback in 15 months. The rising cost of capital is acting as a direct headwind for rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and high-multiple tech, while providing a tailwind for domestic financials and reinforcing the dollar's dominance in emerging markets.
