The S&P 500 Index, which surged over 50% from early 2023 to late 2024, adding $18 trillion in value, faces a potential downturn as Treasury yields rise above 5%. The sudden spike in bond yields, a result of inflation worries and policy uncertainties, has started to shake investor confidence, leading to significant stock market selloffs. Experts warn that if the 10-year Treasury crosses 5%, it could trigger further market corrections, as higher yields make equities less attractive compared to safer investment options.
