US Treasury yields have reached 24-year highs, driven by persistent inflation fears and strong economic data, creating a challenging environment for interest-rate-sensitive assets. JPMorgan warns that rising 30-year yields threaten small-cap returns, while the Fed's upcoming decision is closely watched for any shift in policy stance. This macro tightening is acting as a headwind for high-multiple growth stocks and real estate, though it supports financials. The housing market report suggests costs may normalize within five years, but the high-rate environment continues to suppress affordability and demand.
