📊 Rising Yields Puts Pressure

Good Morning Investors,

Macro conditions remain challenging. Rising Treasury yields, including a 30 year yield near 5%, increase financing pressure on smaller companies and compress valuations for rate sensitive growth stocks. Leadership changes and debate inside the Federal Reserve are adding further uncertainty around policy direction.

Semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and critical mineral plays continue attracting flows, while consumer facing small caps and highly leveraged growth names face greater pressure from inflation, financing costs, and narrowing market breadth.
