Higher yields are taking their toll on all areas of the stock market, except the one that matters
The uptick in Treasury yields to multi-decade highs has put significant pressure on the broader stock market, except for the technology sector, which has shown resilience. This sector remains the sole gainer since September 1, highlighting a shift in investor focus. The ongoing yield rise has created a favorable environment for USD carry demand, while driving risk-off sentiment that pulls capital away from pro-cyclical assets. Investors are closely monitoring these dynamics as they reflect broader economic indicators affecting currency trends.
