- 10-Year Treasury Yield reached 5% in what the WSJ described as a "wild ride" upward to that psychologically significant level
- US Stock Markets — the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq — slipped as rising bond yields pressured equities, per Yahoo Finance's same-day market coverage
Why it matters: A 5% 10-year yield is a psychological and financial benchmark that raises borrowing costs across the economy. The fact that yields are blowing past CBO forecasts and vindicating debt-skeptics — as highlighted in the fourth headline — means Washington's fiscal trajectory is now being repriced by markets rather than debated in policy circles.
