Analysis

10Y at 5.01% Is the Macro Fulcrum

US10Y crossed the psychologically critical 5% threshold at 5.01%, up 1bp on the day, while the 2s10s spread steepened to +104bp — a bear steepening regime signaling the market is demanding meaningful term premium. This is the single most important price in global finance right now. Duration-sensitive assets from tech multiples to BTC's discounted cash flow proxy all face compression risk if 10Y sustains above 5%. The VIX at 16.00 (down 9.7%) suggests equity vol is dangerously complacent relative to the rates signal.
