Analysis

Long-End Yields Repricing Higher Pressures Equity Multiples

US10Y pushed to 4.81% (+0.46%) while US02Y rose to 3.78% (+0.48%), steepening the curve to a pronounced 103bp spread. This bear-steepening dynamic — driven by term premium rather than short-rate expectations — is the most hostile configuration for long-duration equity risk. SPX down 58bps and NDX down 32bps reflect this, though the relatively modest tech underperformance suggests positioning was already light. With VIX only at 16.14, equity vol is not yet pricing the tail risk embedded in a 4.81% 10Y.
