US Treasury Yields Hit 5% as Wall Street Faces New Rate Regime
US Treasury yields reached 5%, and Wall Street is facing a new rate regime.
What happened
US Treasury yields hit 5%, according to Bloomberg Markets, and Wall Street is facing a new rate regime.
What it means for the Nasdaq and TQQQ
Higher Treasury yields can raise the discount rate used to value future corporate earnings, which tends to pressure growth stocks that dominate the Nasdaq-100. Because TQQQ seeks about 3x the daily return of the Nasdaq-100, the fund can be especially sensitive to those rate-driven swings.
