‍# The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield breaks 5%
A review of market patterns after previous U.S. Treasury yield highs

‌

1. Gold Market

‌Typical Negative Correlation‌:

1994 (30-year yield exceeds 8%): Gold prices fell by 18% (real interest rates surged, suppressing non-yield assets);

2007 (10-year yield exceeds 5%): Gold prices retreated by 12% (liquidity tightening before the subprime crisis);

‌Exception Scenario‌: 2020, yields soared along with gold prices up 25% (pandemic safe-haven demand overwhelmed rate effects).

‌Transmission Logic‌: Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation expectations. When nominal rate increases more than inflation expectations, gold valuation faces pressure.

‌

2. Cryptocurrency

High Sensitivity to Corrections‌:

2021 (10-year yield exceeds 1.7%): Bitcoin dropped 45% over 3 months, ETH fell 58% (high-valuation growth assets sold off);

2023 (yield exceeds 4.2%): Total crypto market cap shrank by 30% (funds flowed into government bonds and other yield assets).

‌Core Correlation‌: BTC has a -0.6 negative correlation with U.S. Treasury yields, rising rates compress risk appetite.

3. Cross-Market Chain Reactions

U.S. Tech Stocks: All declined 15-25% (Nasdaq fell 22% in 2018), higher discount rates suppressed future cash flow valuations.

‌Emerging Markets‌: Capital outflows intensified (1994 Mexico crisis, 2013 taper tantrum), dollar strengthening + carry trade unwinding.

‌Bank Stocks‌: Contrarily rose 10-20% (net interest margin expansion is positive), yield curve steepening.

What impacts might this new high in U.S. Treasury yields have on the market?

1. Gold Market Under Pressure but Resilient

Price downward pressure: High yields (30-year at 5.16%) push up real interest rates, weakening appeal of non-yield assets, gold has fallen to $4,465/oz (3-month low). Coupled with CPI at 3.8% and PPI at 6%, indicating persistent inflation, boosting rate hike expectations and further suppressing gold.

‌Supporting Factors‌: Central bank gold purchases (average 60 tons/month) and de-dollarization trends buffer selling pressure.

‌

2. Cryptocurrency Liquidity Crisis Worsens

‌Selling intensifies‌: BTC drops below $77k (down 4.2% in 24 hours), ETH falls below $2,100, as high rates attract capital away from risk assets. PPI surges 6%, indicating rising production costs, squeezing miner profits, triggering on-chain liquidations (stablecoin market cap shrinks 8%).

‌Key Threshold‌: If U.S. Treasury yields stabilize above 5%, BTC may test support at $74k; losing this could trigger a 10% sell-off.

‌

3. Structural Divergence in Stock Markets

Tech Stocks Plunge‌: High discount rates depress future cash flow valuations, Nasdaq could retreat 10-15% (similar to 2018). Growth stocks like Nvidia, Tesla face pressure, especially in AI chip valuations.

‌Banking and Energy Stocks Benefit‌:

Bank stocks’ net interest margins expand to 3.8% (e.g., Citibank up 2.3% against the trend);

Oil prices spike due to geopolitical risks (Middle East tensions push Brent to $90/barrel), supporting energy stocks but with limited inflation hedge effects.

‌4. Emerging Markets and Currency Volatility‌

Capital Outflows‌: Dollar index rises to 106.2 (year high), triggering carry trade unwinds, India’s Sensex drops 3.1%, Brazil real depreciates 2.4%.

‌Debt Risks‌: Sovereign dollar bond spreads widen by 80 basis points, increasing debt servicing costs for emerging economies (e.g., Turkey’s external debt accounts for 60% of GDP).

Tonight, closely watch Fed speeches (22:30). If hawkish, it could trigger cross-asset flash crashes. Also monitor whether US-Iran tensions escalate further, as domestic inflation already leaves Trump’s war efforts unsustainable. $NZDJPY $TSLA
