US Treasury yields have surged to 5.3%, driven by hawkish Federal Reserve expectations and strong economic data. This rise in borrowing costs is exerting pressure on equity valuations, particularly for growth and high-multiple stocks. In contrast, the European Central Bank is widely expected to hold its deposit rate at 2.50% in late October, reflecting a divergence in monetary policy trajectories. The high yield environment continues to challenge financial stability and consumer spending.
