What it means
When bond markets independently drive long-term yields to multi-decade highs, it has historically been associated with pressure on long-duration bonds and rate-sensitive growth stocks, as higher discount rates erode the present value of future earnings. A stronger dollar tends to follow as elevated US yields attract global capital. The Fed holding rates steady is not a surprise here — the market-driven yield rise is doing the tightening work, and that is the dominant new signal.
