US 10-year Treasury yield reaches 5%

The US 10-year Treasury yield reaching 5% tightens financial conditions and raises the risk-free discount rate, pressuring equity multiples and other duration-sensitive assets. Higher yields can also support the USD via rate differentials, tightening global liquidity. Near-term market impact is typically higher volatility, rotation toward defensives and cash-like exposures, and headwinds for leveraged and growth-oriented positioning across risk assets.
