The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) is down nearly 1% this month and is set for a third straight monthly decline. Over the same period, the S&P 500 has fallen more than 2% from its early-June high. Persistent inflation worries tied to the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict have pushed the 2-year Treasury yield above 4.3% and lifted the implied probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike this week to 34%, according to CME FedWatch. The combination of technical and macro pressure is amplifying the risk of losses across both stocks and bonds.
