Treasury Yields Surge to 24-Year High; GDP Revision Shapes S&P 500 Outlook

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Rising yields tend to compress equity valuations by raising discount rates, particularly for rate-sensitive sectors; a sustained >5% 10-year yield historically correlates with increased volatility and weaker breadth in the S&P 500. The GDP revision offers modest positives, but the primary driver remains the bond selloff and its effect on multiples.
