Analysis

10Y at 5.09% Yet Equities Shrug — Something Breaks

The US 10Y yield sits at 5.09%, down nearly 2% on the day but still at levels that historically precede equity repricing events. SPX at 7,744 (+0.33%) and NDX at 26,713 (+0.08%) are barely registering the structural shift in rate regimes. The 2s10s spread has blown out to +100bps (4.09% vs 5.09%), a bear steepening that reflects term premium expansion and fiscal anxiety rather than growth optimism. Duration-sensitive tech should be most vulnerable if the 10Y pushes back above 5.15%.
