Expected market reaction

Bearish Confidence 85% How confidence is read Horizon: Short term Impact: High

The rise in global bond yields may negatively affect interest-rate-sensitive sectors such as financials, real estate, and long-duration growth equities by increasing borrowing costs and reducing present value of future cash flows. Higher yields could also pressure technology and growth stocks, which are particularly sensitive to discount rates.
