What it means
US 30-year Treasury yields reaching 5% have historically been associated with lower long-bond prices, pressure on growth stocks via higher discount rates, and a stronger dollar as global capital chases higher US returns. Gold may face headwinds as non-yielding assets compete with elevated risk-free rates, though gold's recent haven bid from geopolitical tensions could offset some of this pressure.
