Amazon jumps 15% on $5.75 EPS while Apple drops 9.7% as higher real yields reshape earnings trade
A sharp rise in long-end real yields (30Y Treasury at 5.20%, real yields ~57%) and a rare 3-person Fed dissent in favor of a hike reinforce tighter financial conditions, pressuring long-duration risk assets. The divergent Amazon/Apple reactions highlight discount-rate sensitivity: near-term demand and guidance are rewarded while longer-dated cash-flow stories are de-rated. Near-term equity index performance may be driven more by rates than earnings beats.

Amazon shares surged 15% in a single session after non-recurring profits, including a $53.4 billion gain tied to its Anthropic stake, lifted EPS to $5.75. Apple reported 16% revenue growth to a quarterly record, but weak September guidance sent the stock down 9.7%, erasing about $472 billion in market value. Over the same period, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 5.20%, its highest since 2007, with real rates accounting for 57% of the level, alongside a rare joint push for a rate hike by three Federal Reserve officials.
