    Treasury Yields Hit Multi-Year Highs; 10Y at 4.65%

    Question

    Treasury Yields Hit Multi-Year Highs; 10Y at 4.65%

    Direct answer

    Treasury yields have surged to levels not seen in years, with the 10-year benchmark hitting 4.65%. This move is creating a headwind for the technology sector, as evidenced by the recent sharp sell-off in Micron and other semiconductor names. While the higher yields are punishing growth valuations, they are beginning to attract capital into bond ETFs like BND, as the risk-reward profile for fixed income improves relative to overextended equities.
