WS #15555
The U.S. 30-year Treasury auction cleared at its highest yield since August 2000, signaling a structural repricing of long-term risk-free rates. This shock is disproportionately impacting capital-intensive sectors like AI infrastructure and renewable energy, where high discount rates crush net present value models. Bloom Energy and other power suppliers for data centers are falling as the cost of capital rises, reinforcing a bearish outlook for rate-sensitive growth stocks.
