The US 30-year Treasury yield has surged to 5.70%, marking a 24-year high and reflecting deep market concerns over persistent inflation, rising energy costs, and fiscal deficits. This yield spike exerts significant pressure on long-duration assets, particularly growth stocks and real estate, while benefiting financials with strong net interest margins. The macro environment is shifting from a 'soft landing' narrative to one of 'higher for longer' rates, complicating the outlook for rate-sensitive sectors.
