US Treasury yields are surging to multi-decade highs, with the 20-year hitting 5.735% and the 30-year at 5.70%. This spike is creating significant headwinds for rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and high-growth tech, while also pressuring brokerages like Charles Schwab. However, the yield rise is partially offset by weaker labor data, which suggests the economy is cooling and may limit the Fed's ability to hike further, creating a complex environment for fixed-income investors.
