Stock market investors are not panicking as Treasury yields hit 15-year highs. Investors believe that the rising rates are due to momentum rather than true economic signals. Despite the increase in yields, stocks have remained resilient. However, higher yields can unsettle stocks and may indicate a policy mistake by the Federal Reserve. Investors are questioning the influence of the bond market. The stock market’s resilience is consistent with seasonal patterns that favor stocks into year-end. Uncertainty in geopolitics could impact interest rates and equities.
