The 30-year US Treasury yield briefly hit 5%, a key market threshold, before easing slightly. At this level, bonds become more attractive than equities and increase borrowing costs across the economy. Historically, moves toward 5% have coincided with pullbacks in the S&P 500. A sustained rise above this level would mark a shift not seen in nearly 20 years. Meanwhile, higher oil prices driven by the Iran conflict are fueling inflation and reducing expectations for rate cuts.
