10Y Treasury Yield Hits 4.65% as Bond ETFs Regain Attractiveness
Question
10Y Treasury Yield Hits 4.65% as Bond ETFs Regain Attractiveness
Direct answer
The surge in yields is creating a headwind for the semiconductor sector, as evidenced by Micron's 7% decline. With the 10Y at 4.65%, the equity risk premium is narrowing, forcing a repricing of growth stocks that are heavily reliant on future cash flows. Market participants are shifting from cash/T-bills toward intermediate bond ETFs to lock in these multi-year high yields. — bullish pressure on BND.
