WS #15339
The bond market is signaling a severe loss of confidence in long-term US fiscal sustainability and inflation control. With the 10-year yield topping 5.3% and the 30-year yield at a 24-year high, borrowing costs are becoming prohibitive for both governments and corporations. This is reinforced by sticky inflation data (ISM Services PMI at 54.9) and explicit warnings from European central bankers about the strain on sovereign debt. The market implication is a broad bearish pressure on rate-sensitive sectors, particularly growth tech and real estate, as the risk-free rate anchors higher.
