Analysis

Yield Curve Steepening Accelerates as 10s Surge

The 2s10s spread has blown out to +90bp with US10Y at 4.60% (+1.26% on the day) while US02Y holds at 3.70% (-0.05%). This is a classic bear-steepening dynamic — the long end is selling off on term premium or fiscal concerns while the front end is anchored by dovish rate expectations. For portfolios, this is a headwind for duration-sensitive growth equities and a signal that the bond market is demanding higher compensation for holding long-dated treasuries. Gold at $4,072 (+1.54%) confirms the real-rate-adjusted inflation hedge bid is alive.
