- 10-year Treasury yield hit 5%, which CNN described as "a critical threshold for US economy and markets," while Barron's published analysis on the shock of that level
- The market reaction included a Dow slip, a surge in oil prices, and a decline in Nvidia stock per WSJ's live market coverage, and a strategist who foresaw yields reaching 5% told Barron's the selloff isn't done
Why it matters: The 5% level on the 10-year is a psychological and technical line the bond market hasn't tested in years; with one strategist who predicted the move now saying the selloff isn't done, equity valuations and borrowing costs face continued pressure rather than relief.
