If there’s one thing to note from the way we are starting off the week, it is that\u00a0the bond market isn’t waiting around for the Fed.<\/p>\n

10-year Treasury yields have now pushed up to 5.02%, continuing what has been a relentless climb in recent weeks on the back of stubborn inflation, higher oil prices, and the prospect of a more hawkish Fed.<\/p>\n

We’re now bordering on breaking the highs last seen in October 2023 with a firmer push above 5.02% set to take yields\u00a0into territory not properly explored since before the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n

\n

We have already seen the kind of damage that it can do to stocks. There is nothing inherently magical about yields moving back up above 5% in itself.\u00a0But after more than a decade in which investors have become accustomed to much lower borrowing costs, a 5% risk-free yield changes the calculation across almost every major asset class – even more so for\u00a0richly valued growth and technology stocks.<\/p>\n

However, the bigger issue isn’t so much where yields are trading now.<\/p>\n

Even if the Fed delivers the expected rate hike this week, there is no guarantee that longer-term yields will come back down. I mean if investors come away thinking inflation will stay higher for longer, or that the Fed still has more work to do, 5% may stop looking like the ceiling.<\/p>\n

And once that happens, the next question for markets perhaps becomes even more uncomfortable. That being just how high do yields need to go before something starts to break?<\/p>\n

On a break of 5.02%, the next key levels to the topside are the 2006 and 2007 highs at the 5.25% to 5.28% region. And given how geopolitical, fiscal, and economic dynamics are shaping up to be, those levels don’t quite look as distant as they once did in the past.<\/p>\n
