Analysis

Bear Steepening Drives Risk Asset Repricing

The 10Y yield rose 2.4bps to 4.57% while the 2Y held at 3.70%, widening the 2s10s spread to +87bps in a classic bear steepening pattern. This term premium expansion suggests markets are pricing either persistent inflation or elevated fiscal supply risk. The move is directly transmitting into equity duration—NDX down 1.47% is roughly 3x the SPX decline of 0.51%, confirming rate-sensitivity is the dominant factor. Portfolios should reduce long-duration equity exposure.
