Will US 10-year bond yield crossing 5% really hurt markets? Yes Securities says fears overblown

The 10-year US Treasury yield has risen above 4.9% and is marching towards the crucial 5% level that it had last hit briefly in 2023. Yes Securities issued a contrarian bet, saying the rise in global yields increasingly reflects stronger nominal growth, a structurally higher equilibrium real rate and synchronised global monetary normalisation, rather than deteriorating economic fundamentals or an imminent fiscal crisis.
