Analysis

US 10Y at 5.00% — The Line in the Sand

The 10-year yield hit 5.00% today, up 71 bps in a single session's move and a psychologically critical level that historically triggers forced deleveraging across multi-asset portfolios. The 2s10s spread has steepened to +104 bps (5.00% vs 3.96%), signaling the market is pricing persistent term premium rather than imminent cuts. At this yield level, equity risk premia compress dangerously — SPX at 7,586 is trading on an earnings yield that barely compensates for risk-free alternatives. This is the single most important variable for portfolio construction today.
