Long-duration Treasury prices face continued downside pressure as yields hover near multi-decade highs, with inflation data and Fed signaling likely to amplify volatility. SPY: Higher yields weigh on equity valuations by raising the discount rate, and Fed signals are a key driver for broad risk sentiment. Equity multiples remain pressured by elevated discount rates, with near-term direction hinging on inflation data and Fed tone.
