Disorderly yield spike is now the market’s biggest tail risk, BofA highlights
Market context: TLT: A disorderly yield spike is a direct risk to long-duration Treasury bonds, which would see sharp price declines. Tail risk warning could drive hedging demand for Treasuries short or flight to safety; bearish for long-duration bonds if yields spike. SHY: Short-duration Treasuries would be affected differently; a yield curve repricing impacts all Treasury durations. Neutral-to-bearish; short-end less sensitive but still repriced in a disorderly move.
